Martin Scorsese’s portrait of writer and social commentator Fran Lebowitz, celebrated for her sharp wit and observations on modern life.

VIBE

A masterclass in dry wit and sharp observation. Fran Lebowitz dissects modern life with a cynical yet charming perspective, making you laugh and think in equal measure. It's like a long, insightful conversation with a brilliant, world-weary friend.
