REVIEW
Two things set this low-budget film apart from the usual
run-of-the-mill: there’s hardly any story and it’s shot in black-and-white. Snippets
of Frances’ life play out in quick-cut fashion as she bumbles from one
situation to another. Amusing a lot of the time even though there is a ring of
truth about it which is probably not hilarious at all.
The acting is nothing exceptional except for Frances who
steals every scene she’s in.
CLASSIFICATION
for sexual references and language.
FOR
NITPICKERS ONLY
One of her friends tells Frances their flight
from Paris to New York City took six and half hours. The fastest non-stop
commercial flight actually takes more than an hour longer than that.
