Mar 10, 2024 · Greta Gerwig has written and/or directed eight movies, including Barbie, Lady Bird and an adaptation of Little Women. Here are her movies ranked.
- Barbie. Barbie is Gerwig's best film to date. It is a coalescence of themes from her entire body of work, from the exploration of the dynamics between men and women to the desire for women to define themselves as individuals.
- Little Women. Little Women is an adaptation of Louisa May Alcott's novel of the same name that Gerwig made entirely her own, particularly in the use of parallel timelines showing the girls' childhood and adulthood.
- Lady Bird. Lady Bird was Gerwig's directorial debut, even nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars. It follows the difficult relationship between the main character, who names herself Lady Bird, and her mother, as Lady Bird navigates her senior year in high school and prepares for college.
- Frances Ha. Frances Ha is co-written by Gerwig and Baumbach, directed by Baumbach, and stars Gerwig as the titular Frances. It bears many similarities to Gerwig's earlier films, with a heavy focus on dialogue and a single character feeling directionless in life.
