My review · Reviewed 02/10/2023

The good news about this movie is that it is an excellent character study. I can't remember the last time that I saw a character as interesting as Greenberg, and still gives a fantastically nuanced performance. Gerwig does her best Gerwig in that she excels playing the quirky girl-next-door type. That's enough to make the movie watchable.
