Hannah Takes the Stairs

Greta Gerwig plays the carefree intern who finds herself at the centre of a love triangle with two co-workers, in this charming 'mumblecore' rom-com.

Recent graduate Hannah (Gerwig) is interning at a production company. She shares an office with two writers, Matt and Paul. The trio get on like a house on fire. However, Hannah is coming out of a relationship and finds herself increasingly attracted to both of her work buddies.

This naturalistic gem is one of the best examples of the largely improvised, low-budget ‘mumblecore’ movement that emerged in US cinema at the start of the 21st century. Gerwig’s performance powers this raw and funny reflection on the messy world of being in your early 20s, wanting to love and be loved in return.
