Hannah Takes the Stairs (2007)

Information

Monochrome Man
I've enjoyed many Mumblecore films ("Funny Ha Ha," "Mutual Appreciation, "The Puffy Chair," etc.) They aren't great, but I usually like the characters, and find them entertaining. I rarely say this, but this film was a total waste of my time. I was surprised. There's no plot, which would have been okay if the characters weren't so bland or annoying. Greta Gerwig's character is selfish and self-involved and she states that she knows she's not good to other people, but based on the last scene, there's no indication she plans to change her behavior. None of the characters seemed to grow. I can usually find something good in a film, but this was just boring. Perhaps I just don't like Joe Swanberg. Perhaps I need to stick with the Duplass brothers. 1 year 7 months ago

Greta Gerwig always seems totally stoned. She's alright in the background, but as a lead she sucks balls. Hannah was a really annoying character as well and I kinda wish it had been 'Hannah Falls Down the Stairs' instead. I think there should have been less Hannah, less people taking clothes off (seemed like that was the only reason anything happened), more plot and more Mark Duplass. 11 years 5 months ago
