Career

2006–2009: Early work

edit
Gerwig in 2008

Gerwig originally intended to become aplaywright,but she turned to acting when she was not admitted to playwritingMFAprograms.[13]In 2006, while still studying at Barnard, she was cast in a minor role inJoe Swanberg'sLOL,and appeared inBagheadbyJayandMark Duplass.She began a partnership with Swanberg, which resulted in the duo's co-writingHannah Takes the Stairs(2007), and sharing both writing and directing duties onNights and Weekends(2008). Through these films, she became known as a key figure in the risingmumblecorefilm movement[2][3]and was often referred to as an "it girl".[5][25][26]Despite her consistent association with the movement, Gerwig dislikes the term "mumblecore", and has defended the style by saying, "People had gotten used to a version of a movie at a film festival that was like a calling-card for the real movie you were going to make later. What was different about these movies was these filmmakers were like, 'There is not another movie. This is the real movie.'"[27]

Although she had an association with a number of other mumblecore filmmakers and appeared in several films, mainstream success remained elusive. Of this period in her life, Gerwig has said, "I was really depressed. I was 25 [in 2008] and thinking, 'This is supposed to be the best time and I'm miserable' but it felt like acting was happening for me, and I went back to acting classes."[20]In order to support herself financially, she worked as anannyand atutorfor theSAT.[28]

2010–2016: Independent films

edit

In 2010, Gerwig starred inNoah Baumbach'sGreenbergwithBen Stiller,Rhys Ifans,andJennifer Jason Leigh.[29][30]In an appraisal of her work in this and other films,The New York TimescriticA. O. Scottdescribed Gerwig as an "ambassador of a cinematic style that often seems opposed to the very idea of style." "She seems to be embarked on a project," Scott wrote, "however piecemeal and modestly scaled, of redefining just what it is we talk about when we talk about acting."[31]In 2010, Gerwig made her first talk show appearance onJimmy Kimmel Live!From 2011 to 2015, she voiced Pony, one of the main characters in theAdult Swimanimated seriesChina, IL.In 2011, she was cast as a lead in anHBOpilot adaptation ofThe Corrections,which however was not picked up to series.[20]Also that year she starred inWhit Stillman's comedyDamsels in Distress(2011) which premiered at theVenice International Film Festival.CriticRoger Ebertcompared the film favorably to the novels ofP.G. Wodehouseand praised Gerwig's performance, writing "He's also lucky to have found an actress in Gerwig who finds the perfect note for playing a woman who knows everything better than you do, but doesn't believe she's being stuck up about it; she's just being kind."[32]In 2012, Gerwig appeared inWoody Allen's filmTo Rome with Lovein the vignetteJohn's Story,acting alongsideJesse EisenbergandAlec Baldwin.[33]

Gerwig at the2014 Toronto International Film Festival

Gerwig and Baumbach co-wrote Baumbach's next film,Frances Ha,which was released in May 2013 after having toured the festival circuit since September 2012. Gerwig played the title role, and received a nomination for theGolden Globe Award for Best Actress – Motion Picture Comedy or Musicalfor her performance.[34] Richard BrodyofThe New Yorkerwrote "Gerwig may be famed for acting like a nonactor, but she's an extraordinarily accomplished actor (as she proved inDamsels in Distress), and here she puts the movie on her back and carries it from beginning to end, combining the spontaneous inspiration and personal presence of her earlier films ".[35]Her third collaboration with Baumbach,Mistress America,was released in August 2015 to generally positive reviews.[36][37]

In February 2014, Gerwig served as a jury member at the64th Berlin International Film Festival.[38]In May 2014, Gerwig made her stage debut as Becky inPenelope Skinner'sThe Village Bikeat theLucille Lortel Theatrein New York. The production earned mixed reviews but her performance was praised by many includingBen BrantleyofThe New York Timeswho wrote, "Ms. Gerwig uses the off-balance, open-faced presence she brought to films likeFrances HaandGreenbergto hook us from the moment we set eyes on her. "He added," Gerwig turns out to be the perfect person to ride right over the edge of a cliff with ".[39]The show ran until the end of June.[40]She was nominated for theOuter Critics Circle Awardfor Best Actress for her performance.[41]She was cast in the lead role in aspin-offofHow I Met Your MothertitledHow I Met Your Dadin 2014,[42]but it was not picked up to series.[43]
