Such a brilliant scene. Everyone else at the dinner table looks down on her for being immature, or not having her life together. However, this monologue demonstrates who Frances is at her core, someone who isn’t afraid of being vulnerable, and while lost, someone who knows EXACTLY WHAT SHE WANTS. She just hasn’t figured out how to get there
This is great scene. She doesn't fit in with these people in this moment or with Sophie because of her earnestness, but she shows these people the power of earnestness and vulnerability. She has been hurt, but she remains potent enough to carry these ideas with her. Rachel, Sophie, and these people divorce themselves from their intimate thoughts and feelings more than Frances while Frances is stuck in her tragedy. The whole tension about how Sophie was "book smart" even though she wasn't and her attempt to tell a story to these people was so tragic, and it was mad even more tragic when they finally picked up on how astute she is and she nervously left feeling less than and needing to prove herself. Don't make fun of me for posting here. I just love this scene. Her face kind of reminds me of Mädchen Amick for some reason.
I don’t know that one woman seemed interested and even hurt when Frances decided to just leave without even giving her a chance to respond. I think part of the Frances problem is she is a bit selfish. She once people to exist on her terms. Interact with her on her terms. Like when she tried to turn her other friend into Sophie by play fighting.
Greta Gerwig's performance in this film is, in my opinion, one of the best performances of the past 10 years. She's such a marvelous (and underrated) actress.
I love this entire part of the movie. At dinner Frances is the talkative expression energy in the room, who some might think is self indulgent. A couple of people kinda glance at each other when she says certain things. But by the end of the night they realize that she's the reason why they even had a good time. She's the reason why the air wasn't awkward, she's the fun. It was other people who were self indulgent, because they have a harder time being honest and true with their own feelings and excitement. It's ok to be overjoyed about something. It's ok to be emotional, just find that balance between it all.
I just rewatched this for the n th time, and this monologue is still so touching and true, especially how it connects with the second last scene with Sophie :)
This film was heartbreakingly relatable. I bawled like crazy finishing it because I'm around Frances age and still feeling almost as lost as her. I might not be struggling financially, but it felt like I'll never be truly happy and everyone else has move on from me. This is why the ending comforts me so much.
You know when the movie ends and you keep staring at the screen while the credits are rolling but you are not really looking at them... And finally the credits end and it's black now... in that moment, in that one second you can die and have no regrets. I watched this movie today and I am so relieved at being understood. There's always this urgency inside me that no one will ever get what I think of and want from a person in life. And now this movie has stated it. I feel blissful and at peace yet I feel like shouting to the world that it is THIS! This is who I am. God! I can literally die today and have no regrets. I have lost many friends. And that dialogue at the end "It's just that if something funny happens on the way to the deli, you'll only tell one person about it and that'll be Patch and I'll never hear about it." It's this dialogue that defines all my friendships since I passed out from High School. And I haven't been able to recover since. It's really sad how "happily-ever-afters" relate to marriage only. Nothing in this world is as overrated as marriage. And it literally stabbed me that even in the movie Sophie didn't stay - how Frances ran after her! That's the representation of me trying to hold on to those dreams which I really meant when I said them while my friends were drunk when they did.
“I want this one moment. It’s what I want in a relationship, which may explain why I am single now, ha-ha. It’s kind of hard to… It's that thing when you're with someone, and you love them and they know it, and they love you and you know it... but it's a party... and you're both talking to other people, and you're laughing and shining... and you look across the room and catch each others eyes... but - but not because you're possessive, or it's precisely sexual... but because... that is your person in this life. And it's funny and sad, but only because this life will end, and it's this secret world that exists right there in public, unnoticed, that no one else knows about. It's sort of like how they say that other dimensions exist all around us, but we don't have the ability to perceive them. That's - That's what I want out of a relationship. Or just life, I guess... love. Blah… I sounded stoned. I’m not stoned. Thanks for dinner, bye!”
1:08 I like how the woman is vibing to France's words plus the background music. It feels like a moment of purity and honesty that takes you far from this world.
*I love this scene* The way she transitions from shy, to insightful, to apologetic is just so organic, it feels like a real person expressing themselves. Hits a bit too close to home though, so I should really stop watching it 😅
it’s an interesting interpretation, and you’re definitely not alone looking at the rest of this comment section. Personally I hated everyone else at this dinner party from start to end, to me it felt like they all treated Frances with at best pity or disingenuous politeness, and at worst sneering mockery. Even in this specific scene, I don’t get the feeling that either of the two people Frances is pouring her heart out to are really *getting* what she’s so beautifully articulating
This is one of my favorite scene from possibly my all-time favorite movie. Perhaps this scene and I like to look at each other across dimensions in recognition and just know lol!
this is so so beautiful when i first heard this I thought of my friend and i was like damn am i in love with her and then i found out in the movie she‘s also talking about her best friend cause later in the movie she has that moment with her friend and it made me so happy. might still be in love with her tho whoops

the moment you realise you are frances is simply grounding. you see all the good and brush aside the minor of faults and love her and in turn begin to love yourself
People love Greta Gerwig as a filmmaker but they seemed to forgot how great she is in acting. In the mumblecore film era back in the 2000s, she was almost everywhere alongside with The Duplass Brothers, Joe Swanberg (he can be credited as the one who launched Greta's career) and Lynn Shelton
When I first saw this, I was so in love with this scene. I performed this monologue and posted it to my channel. Can't touch Greta, but I wanted to do my own version of it. Ugh love this. Would love some feedback, if you want to check it out! :)

I saw this first time on Pinterest but i lost it. Next time I found it on a BTS edit...and I have ever since been looking for it... Finally now I found it. I kept looking n looking at all places...but I somehow couldn't find it.
Yeah...so this ...is ME.. just saw this for the first time... And cried because I've said this to myself and a few other people...but never quite as articulately as dear Greta (aka Frances) 💖
When you love someone or share a bond (not necessarily romantic) you sometimes feel like a "we", like there is an invisible connection between the two of you that make you greater. This is especially noticeable when you are hanging out with other people. Even though you are in a different environment, having fun and so on, you can look at this person and realise there is a secret world, a connection that only the two of you are aware of (even though you may not be even talking at that moment). That is what Frances is trying to explain.
"I think I'm better looking than I am in pictures" is one of the funniest lines in this movie. Tf you mean? You think you look better in MIRRORS??? Makes no sense bro you can't see yourself otherwise...... I sound stoned
i looked up mumblecore and it said the defining characteristic is naturalistic dialogue, and this is supposedly one of the main mumblecore movies.. and uh… this is the most contrived dialogue ever
This scene made the film for me. Frances’s words resonated so much. I have had the same thoughts and hopes before in love and life.
Why don't you have these thoughts and hopes anymore?
Bárbara Lima Oh I still do! ❤️
@@AnzuMiruku I was about to say you say "before" so I hope you had found it so you don't have to look anymore.
Hows it now

I felt the acting at the beginning was stilted, do you agree or do you think that was a deliberate choice?
I think the acting in this scene is pretty bad.

Never stop pursuing those dreams
'You know how the movie ends you' is how I choose to read your first sentence. I think some movies just have that power to shake you to your core.
I'll never forget this scene... It's so precious.
I think of this scene once a month.

She gets what she describes here, at the end of the movie with Sophie.
I love her mimics just before she says "It's a thing". Perfectly describes how She feels, and well, that's how I feel too
The look the other women gave her was one of respect, and finally, understanding.

Can relate. Can still very much relate. And seeing Frances get that moment in the film brought a tear to my eye.

Love this. Possibly the most relateable film ever.
I feel this way about my best friend. I'm grateful she's in my life, my person
I watch this every once in awhile
This whole dinner section is just so incredibly heart-breaking goodness
Such a great scene.
Everytime i rewatched the clip...it make more sence to me.
Clear message, clear structure, easy to understand, thank you
Hurts to watch how unbothered the people around her about what se says here.....
We need at least one friend like Frances!
She shares this exact dimensional connection with Sophie at the end of the movie after her concert 😢
Whenever I watch this scene I feel seen and understood
Her work reminds me of Nora Ephron and We need more women artists like them ! 🌻
