Director – Greta Gerwig; Credited Screenwrier – Greta Gerwig
Incredibly entertaining and joyous experience. Cast excellent across the board – except for a painful show from Emma Watson, indeed, casting her as a wannabe actress is perhaps the best gag of the film, and Meryl Streep who insists on chewing on the scenery as if it was made from the same chocolate as those foil-wrapped Oscars she keeps winning. Despite this, the characters are beautifully drawn and have one crying and laughing and whooping for joy right along with them. Cutting back and forth through time felt ultimately pointless, but no more so than the device often is.
Even Briefer, Please: Definitely a Yes, a film that defies a sour mood.
