Mistress America | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

Baumbach returns to that biting criticism of, "Just like the rest of your generation; everything a pastiche."

It's a story that exists in it's own carefully constructed world but peel back the layers and it has much to say about female mentoring relationships and the responsibilities inherent in those relationships.

Sometimes, Mistress America tells us, it's easier to understand others than yourself. If we're paying attention, though, maybe we can learn something from them.

An insincere, performative impression of so-called real life.

Characters with more depth would have allowed Mistress [America] to be simultaneously comic and dark; instead, it lends itself to noncomplex interpretation.
