List of Directorial Efforts
Greta Gerwig is an American director, screenwriter, and actress. Gerwig began
her career as an actress in independent "mumblecore" films - noted for its
naturalistic acting and preference of dialogue over plot.
Her most notable role in such films include Frances Ha (2013),
in which she received a Golden Globe nomination for her performance.
Greta's first try at directing came with the 2008 film Nights and Weekends with Joe Swanberg. Yet, her breakthrough would come with 2017's critically acclaimed Lady Bird. The coming-of-age film follows the highs and lows of a mother-daughter relationship set in the background of 2002 Sacramento, CA - semi-autobiographical of Gerwig's adolescence. The film would go on to be nominated for 5 Academy Awards, including Best Director and Best Picture.
Her sophomore film was 2019's Little Women, yet another adaptation of the beloved novel by Louisa May Alcott. Critically acclaimed once again, Gerwig received a Best Picture nomiantion at the 2020 Academy Awards.
But it was her third film, Barbie, that catapulted Greta into international stardom. The 2023 film tackled pink sparkles, patriarchy, and what it menas to be a woman in the 21st century with ease. Lauded for her screenplay with partner Noah Baumbach, and her directorial prowess, the film became a cultural phenomenon in the summer of 2023
