She turned awkward comedy into an artform

[@andrewlr1225]

I think she is truly in her element when she is directing. Watching her direct the romantic garden scene in lady bird she looked so pure and happy and it definitely showed through the screen. I would love to work with her as an actor someday because I feel like her movies will be timeless.

[@tyshaia]

Agreed ❤

[@thiyagaraja7770]

Reminds me of something Marlon Brando said about not over-rehearsing dialogues so that it actually looks like lines just popped into his head naturally, in an unnatural yet unique to his own way.

[@giovannibertoia8027]

In an interview she stated quite the contrary. She loves rehearsing, she thinks than only when you embody the line you can be truly free to go anywhere.

[@Yarlification]

That's so interesting because Anthony Hopkins takes the exact opposite approach: kzbin.info/www/bejne/apy2eJ59gNyjb7csi=658-J0Al6dbLQKi6&t=147

[@peterDcontact]

as a person who is 28 years old and still trying to figure it out, Frances Ha spoke to me and she is one of the reasons why

[@Lifeissorich.]

I love her directing, writing and acting. She's one of the best in Hollywood right now.

[@Syzygy77]

Wow, she can really make every scene look like a real situation. Naturally awkward. It’s certainly endearing.

[@themodernotaku]

What I like about this video is that you delivered your point and only your point, no rambling. Great job. Also algorithm alert.

[@TampaFilmmaker]

I need more video essays like this! I love how you chose to dive into just one actor rather than a whole movie. also love your color videos and how specific they are. great stuff man! keep up the voice over essays. they're great and if you keep it niche like this one they'll be fresh and unique, further growing your channel

[@churricardo1457]

I love greta gerwig & noah baumbach my favorite writers/directors for sure, power couple

[@AndrewNation13]

I could probably write a book just on how she's affected me via all her roles/work This captures a lotta good stuff for sure Thank-you so much

[@mhawk5407]

Hahahaha

[@monikyrodrigues5267]

What a sensitive gaze you have. I love Gerwig as a writer, a director and as an actress, and I miss watching her on screen so much. But her body of work if flawless. The content you have created in this video fits perfectly with my latest research. May I use it - of course with credits and all?

[@maisa96]

Thank you for this video essay, I was searching all over trying to understand her awkward quirks! Your interpretation is insightful.

[@moviegoer0657]

Exited to see her in White Noise. People are really angry about the movie, but I'm still looking forward to it. (I haven't read the book or anything so I don't understand why people are mad.) Also, Barbie is going to be great! Can't wait! I should probably watch more movies she was in, too. I've only seen Francis Ha and Mistress America.

[@soylentcompany5235]

Check out the stuff she did with Noah Baumbach and maybe some of her mumblecore stuff. All great

[@samsmusichub]

I just watched No Strings Attached again after many years... not the best movie but a character was pretty charming so I looked up the cast and it was Greta. Then I imdb'd further and was taken back by all of her credits, being the writer and director of Little Women. She's super talented!

[@denisefreitas6727]

I love her! She's superb as an actress and as a director.

[@pb.j.1753]

She stars in Noah Baumbach's White Noise premiering this month in Venice. Why is everyone acting like she doesn't act anymore

[@simonjenkin]

they recently did a mini greta gerwig retrospective at my local arthouse cinema and i caught lady bird, little women, frances ha and mistress america (frances ha being the only one of those i'd not yet seen), all pretty packed out screenings. she's an incredible director but she really is such a magnetic screen presence, too. and in frances ha she's constantly laugh out loud funny. i get the feeling she'll definitely be concentrating all her efforts on directing now (as tends to happen when you make a billion dollar film) but i hope she at least continues acting in baumbach's films.

[@psachin3875]

this is soo good.

[@soylentcompany5235]

Thank you for this. Great video with which i wholeheartedly agree

[@mauriciorodrix]

I cant wait to see Barbie Movie

[@Romybb12]

Does anyone know the name of the movie of the first clip shown where she's singing with the guy on guitar?

[@flovita]

it’s from the movie Baghead

[@Romybb12]

@@flovita thank you!

[@Epicurean999]

She is epitome of what a creative woman who knows how to express ❤️

[@PrimerCinePodcast]

Nice vid :)

[@gabrielidusogie9189]

Can you do a video essay on film analysis and video essays?

[@cgygflkj]

This is a stretch but I'm glad you seem to truly appreciate it

[@Billkeys123]

She’s going to act in Baumbach’s new film White Noise

[@Lara-mi3mh]

where did you find these footage of her?

[@jordonstarkweather5752]

I’m okay with the writing-directing trade off. Lady Bird is probably my favorite film of the last ten years, so happy she gave that to me.

[@Retromanced]

6:00-6:15 what film is this from?

[@findingretreat]

such an underrated actor!!!she was amazing in all roles she plaid!!she deserve more main roles!!!she

[@gabrielborjas7923]

oh, how much I love Greta Gerwig

[@sophrosynemind]

Greta is the Manic Pixie Dream girl incarnate 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@manzell]

I enjoy Gerwig's performances and I love her movies, buuuut - her mannerisms are like essentially everyone I grew up around and hung with in my 20s. It's probable her thing is basically Xillenniall Middle Class West Coast, distilled.

[@binary001]

well done

Nice video

[@spring6066]

she's just like me fr

AN ACTRESS AND AN AUTEUR MAMA

[@smilefenn4813]

i think you're in love

[@gwendolineflo3824]

she reminds me of steve carell

[@spiderliliez]

I hope you put subs. Some of the words you say, sometimes we can't understand.

[@Ignatius_reilly]

оооона супер крутая 🔥

[@SLACKPLAN9]

I say that Greta Gerwig is the "Greta Garbo of Mumblecore".

[@Zeropadd]

😎

[@theroebuck123456789]

She's so good at awkwardness she's gonna make a full length awkward Barbie movie

[@mgoskay]

Have you ever seen Woody Allen in a film?

[@manuelmanolini6756]

do not forget her pretty face...that goes a long way

[@sir_christmas_leopold_duckson]

She's awful cute.

[@SuperStormNorm]

you simpin

[@ZelindraArkathius]

She's the poor man's wes anderson. Her work kinda... sucks.

[@joshruiz6804]

you’re joking?

[@YodasPapa]

Her work is honestly nothing like Wes Anderson's. Gerwig relies a lot on spontaneity both in directing and acting, whereas every frame of Anderson's work is meticulously crafted. Gerwig's dialogue tends to aim for naturalism (with notable exceptions such as the final act of Mistress America), while Anderson's is usually looking for a certain artificial but fun rhythm and snap.
