Mistress America (2015) ***1/2

Mistress America (2015) is an hour and 24 mins long and moves at a blistering pace. At first I couldn't stand Greta Gerwig's character and by the end I wouldn't say I fell in love with her but she certainly grew on me. She's one of those New York people that "does" a whole lot but doesn't really "do" anything and just seems to have money to do it all (like so many characters in Noah Baumbach films). Lola Kirke is excellent as a fledging writer and college student. The dialogue is sharp and quite funny at times. There are some scenes that feel staged but they're still enjoyable. It very much feels like a Noah Baumbach film.
