Hannah Takes the Stairs finds its way in the end
08 January 2009
Joe Swanberg’s no-budget independent movie was shot on high-definition video in one room. Greta Gerwig, one of Swanberg’s film-maker friends, appears as a post-graduate who drifts from one lover to another, disconsolately unsatisfied with her on-off relationships.
The film meanders along in conversational style, encouraging improvisational realism but also the thought that maybe these middle-class characters, not quite slackers, are less interesting than they, or the director, think they are. But the last reel at least comes fully alive.
