Review of Lady Bird (2017) by Whiskeystories — 28 Dec 2017
Lady Bird gives an admirably honest look at adolescence, family, relationships and the importance of being yourself, while managing to stay surprisingly grounded and authentic. The acting overall is pretty great with some real stand-out performances by Laurie Matcalf and Saoirse Ronan.
Unfortunately the story lacks the originality to transcend its genre, but as a coming of age movie Lady Bird is really good, probably the best of its kind since Juno. Even though I absolutely loved Greta Gerwig's writing and humor, overall I kinda felt like Lady Bird was just not really for me.
Still I'd wholeheartedly recommend it.
