Movie Haiku:Gerwig (who co-wrote the screenplay with Baumbach) stars--yet-again--as a young Manhattan woman in her late 20s who is used to sailing thru life but suddenly finds herself in choppy water. Alas, we found it all a bit too self-conscious (with B&W visuals from Woody Allen & music from Francois Truffaut). Has Baumbach grown desperate in his quest for Oscar validation?
