Tanya’s Verdict: Written and directed by Greta Gerwig, I have a feeling this movie is based on her personal experiences. There is a poignant yet eerie truth to it all – the characters are authentic, the dialogue is honest, the situations are real. There is no right or wrong or black or white – the movie holds strong to this truth from beginning to end. I loved it.
