User Reviews
She speaks a lot of profound common sense !
Dry as ever... Witty... And Martin Scorsese is in stitches half the time
She is very grumpy but when you add the wit and humor she becomes so entertaining. A wonderfull portrait of Fran
Very particular sense of humour required to enjoy. Also beautifully shot
The acid lucidity of Fran Leibovitz at its best expression.
I disagree with at least half of fran's opinions & honestly she can be infuriating. BUT, she managed to make me love her???
It’s Fran Lebowitz just Franning it up for a long while. That alone should let you know whether or not this’ll be your thing.
I mean it’s just a couple hours of Fran Lebowitz complaining. I love it
A dull movie with observations by an irritating, talentless person. Lebowitz is a total bore. I guess Scorcese thinks differently.
An absolutely fun, beautiful and fabulous series! Culturally fulfilling, educational, widely entertaining! Fran is absolutely brilliant!

Single father George Altman is doing his best to raise his sixteen-year-old daughter Tessa in the big city. When he discovers a box of condoms in her bedroom, though, he decides the time has come to move her to a more wholesome and nurturing environment: the suburbs. But behind the beautiful homes and perfect lawns lurk the Franken-moms, spray tans, nose jobs, and Red Bull-guzzling teens who have nothing in common with Tessa. It’s a whole new world, one that makes George wonder if they haven’t jumped out of the frying pan and into the fire.
Dark comedy about the eccentric members of the Flowers family. Maurice and Deborah are barely together but yet to divorce. They live with Maurice's batty mother and their maladjusted twin children.
LOOK AROUND YOU. Look around you. Just look around you. What do you see? A tree. A weather-vane. A discarded lollipop-wrapper. A traffic shop. All of these things, and any other things you may care to mention, have one thing in common. Can you work out what it is?
It's 1986 - the year Maradona ends England's World Cup dreams in Mexico; the year Top Gun is the highest grossing film; the year over 3.4 million Brits are unemployed and the year Shaun is leaving school.
A seemingly ordinary British couple become the focus of an extraordinary investigation when two dead bodies are discovered in the back garden of a house in Nottingham.
A look at a seemingly placid New England town that is actually wrought with illicit affairs, crime and tragedy, all told through the lens of Olive, whose wicked wit and harsh demeanor mask a warm but troubled heart and staunch moral center. The story spans 25 years and focuses on Olive's relationships with her husband, Henry, the good-hearted and kindly town pharmacist; their son, Christopher, who resents his mother's approach to parenting; and other members of their community.
The story of the romantic and creative partnership between Bob Fosse and Gwen Verdon.
