Call them up or send them a letter through the US postal service. Now, we can text them, we can send a message through Facebook or Twitter, we can facetime them on our phones, we can send an email, or we send a group posting. It’s really not cool to use a landline phone and call someone on their home phone. Most likely they are screening their calls and your name and phone number will show up on their television. If you have not joined Nextdoor, you may want to check it out. It’s a great way to know what is going on in your neighborhood. Once you join, you can post a question, tell your neighbors about a danger, or ask about a stray dog. It’s a fun way to stay informed. You don’t have to go next door to find out what is happening, you can just look at your phone or computer. Family We all have one. Some of us have large families. Some of us come from a smaller family. But, no matter how many people are in our family, we all are part of a family. They come in different flavors. Close families, distant, dysfunctional, blended, extended, and multicultural families, they all make us related by blood, love or marriage. Some times our relatives are a challenge to get along with. Sibling rivalries and many times divorces create big divisions within the family structure. God has put us in a particular family unit to be part of that group to help and support one another. I’m flying up to Seattle this week to visit my sister and brother. Miles have separated us and our lives have been busy raising our kids and making our own livings. The years have passed and not as much communication has taken place to keep us very close. It will be good to reconnect, recount some of our past memories, and see how much each has aged. Families are a gift, we should cherish our time together.

Following 2012’s Frances Ha and last year’s While We’re Young, The New York born director returns with Mistress America, once again set to simultaneously explore, praise, and ponder the aimless intellectual wanderers of Generation Y in, a refreshingly hilarious screwball comedy. On the whole, Mistress America feels more like the sister film to Frances Ha than the director’s others, not particularly because the film is actually about a girl who becomes step-sisters with a very “Frances Hallowaylike” character. Considering America was co-written by Baumbach and real-life girlfriend Greta Gerwig (who also co-wrote Frances Ha), it’s no surprise that the film is charged with similarly clever observations and comedic rhythms about characters so creative and cultured, and yet so incompetent and existentially clumsy. Two characters share these qualities. Relative newcomer Lola Kirke (Gone Girl) plays Tracy, an incoming Freshman Lit major with more creative writing ideas than friends. Her introduction to school is a lonely one, prompting her recently engaged mother to encourage her to meet up with her fiancé’s own out-of-school-age daughter who lives nearby. Enter Brooke (Gerwig), who immediately and literally embraces her new step-sister and opens Tracy’s eyes to a world of spontaneous adventures. What makes Mistress America so fun (and it really is) is its intelligentsia-tinged hilariousness that here, channels screwball-styled comedy, showing how finely Baumbach and Gerwig have their fingers on this culture’s hipster-pulsed zeitgeist. As While We’re Young also explored the self-aware character study of studying the hipster-bohemian lifestyle (young and aging alike), America’s Tracy, being all perceiving in her own right, looks at Brooke with empathy, channeling her new adventures and sister into her creative writing. Brooke’s fun yet unrealistic and equally fleeting goals, such as intentions of opening a restaurant, excite an encourageable Tracy, but Brooke the character is ultimately filtered through Tracy’s own writing, revealing a person whose tragic romance is at both times invigorating and unsustainable. Mistress America contains whip-smart intellectual musings and dialogue, further enhanced by a deft use of quick-cut editing to mine real laughs and poignancy. Whether or not audiences are familiar with Baumbach’s past work, Mistress America is a smart film that will entertain those looking for a riotously funny and understated comedy that counts among the director’s most entertaining. Mistress America is now playing in select cities. • Film Review Greta Gerwig as “Brooke” and Lola Kirke as “Tracy” in Mistress America.
