For what feels like decades, we've heard complaints about the lack of good roles for women in Hollywood. But the 32-year-old Gerwig has shown us how to do it by just creating her own. Watching both Mistress America and her previous movie, the irresistible Frances Ha, we see something unique in a relatively mainstream movie: a woman covering such a range of subjects beyond the expected romantic area that it adds up to a comprehensive world view that is both thrilling and unusual. Every great comedian, whether it's Larry David or Cary Grant, Katharine Hepburn or Diane Keaton, seems to have, by definition, a whole new rhythm, a new register, a new way of speaking and responding to the world. Gerwig has precisely this quality. In Mistress America, she plays Brooke, a scatty but fiercely motivated bohemian just out of her 20s. Here she tells her new best friend Tracy about her old best friend who stole her idea for a lucrative T-shirt range and while she was at it, her lover. Greta Gerwig and Lola Kirke in Mistress America, which Gerwig wrote with the director Noah Baumbach, who also happens to be her partner. I was curious about how they write together. Do they work in the same room, for example? Are there stand-up fights?
"We don't fight and we don't really write in the same room. I'll go away and write pages and Noah will stay where he is and write pages. I can't write at home, Noah can." |
