After her brilliant, understated breakthrough in Noah Baumbach's Ben Stiller
seriaas vehicle
Greenberg, Greta Gerwig kept herself busy upstaging her headlining cast members in flop-ish commercial outings (
No Strings Attached, Arthur) before signing off a fairly thankless Woody Allen role in
To Rome with Love.
She's back on top form, though, in Whitt Stillman's stylised deadpan comedy
Damsels in Distress and re-teaming with sort-of maybe probably boyfriend Baumbach to deliver a sly, reportedly career-best (for what that's worth) performance in
Frances Ha, which she also co-wrote.
