Greta Gerwig (Frances Ha) is Maggie in this screwball comedy from writer-director Rebecca Miller (Personal Velocity). Maggie is a young woman whose determination to have a child involves her in a love triangle with an unhappy academic (Ethan Hawke) and his eccentric critical-theorist wife (Julianne Moore). Co-stars Maya Rudolph and Bill Hader.
"Maggie wants a baby, but she's never sustained a relationship longer than six months. She solicits a sperm donation from a Brooklyn pickle entrepreneur - no strings attached - but has hardly even begun the artificial-insemination process when she consummates a budding romance with John, an unhappily married academic hailed as "the bad boy of fictocritical anthropology." Maggie's rejuvenating enthusiasm lures John away from his wife, domineering Danish critical theorist Georgette Norgaard, and the two settle down and have a daughter together. Everything has gone according to Maggie's plan - so why isn't she happy? And what sort of meddlesome scheme will she concoct next?" (Toronto International Film Festival)
