In cinemas this week is the superb romantic comedy Maggie’s Plan, the Greta Gerwig led comedy from writer and director Rebecca Miller.
We first reviewed the film at this year’s Berlin Film Festival, and were absolutely delighted with it. Maggie’s Plan revolves around Gerwig’s title character of Maggie. Maggie desperately wants a baby, and it seems she’ll do anything to get her wish. She even has an exact date of when she’d like to conceive with the prospective father; sperm donor, and pickle entrepreneur Guy (Travis Fimmel – Vikings, upcoming Warcraft). However, things take a slightly different turn when fate gets in the way and fellow lecturer, and wannabe fiction writer John (Ethan Hawke), comes into Maggie’s life. A relationship soon forms, despite the fact that John is still married, with two children, to Georgette (Julianne Moore). Maggie and John’s relationship develops and one child and three years later, it seems that she’s fallen out of love with the intense writer. No worries though, as Maggie has a plan…
We caught up with Rebecca Miller when she visited London to promote her film. Check out our interview below.
