It sounds like a comedy drama, probably coming of age as stated above. The description of the film recalls Saoirse's first film "I Could Never Be Your Woman" considering it had a subplot about a relationship with the mother and daughter. Hopefully it's not a rom-com like that film though.

Nice find. Now we know a bit more about the plot. I'm just speculating, but because of the director, perhaps the film will ha1c84ve some comedic flourishes given Gerwig's history of characters in her previous roles. However, my instinct tells me this will be a serious and heartfelt story about a young women who is facing the separation from her beloved home as she takes the next step in her life.
I'm probably overly optimistic when it comes to Saoirse's upcoming projects, but this strikes me as a role with great potential. -

And i think its perfect for Saoirse, given its about the relationship beteween mother and daughter( we know how close she is to her mam). I am just a little scared that Greta may end up falling into the pretentious mistake, she comes from a super indie background, so she probably is not scared of trying new things, but she needs to know how much is enough. We've seen that happen with violet and Daisy, style over substance, but since Gerwig is a great writer and she will probably have guidance from Noah, who is her partner in real life, I may be wrong.

My feeling is this story won't be ultra chatty and hip like what we saw in Frances Ha. I've no way of knowing, but this sounds like such a personal project about a young woman during her last year at home in Sacramento Ca. It's not about a character trying to make her mark in the big apple. I'm just guessing at this point, but we should have many more details in the next few months.

Any thoughts on who could play her mother? I know its whishful thinking, but ever since that actors on actors interview I've been wondering how cool would it be Saoirse and Kate as mother and daughter in a movie, althought its almost impossible for Gerwig to get Winslet.

That would be something Poetswan. How about.

She's a seriously underrated actress and about 40 years old.
Oh, sorry. That's Judy Greer. -

I believe it launched Rachel Griffiths' career as well. -

Yes, the whole film was building beautifully slow towards that moment only to add more strenght to the "speak low" piano song scene that was so effectively powerful, it is one of my favorite scenes of the year, she and Zehrfeld were magnificent in that one, Nina is certainly outstanding.
