Review of Lady Bird (2017) by Brent_Marchant — 12 Nov 2017
A mildly amusing, sometimes-surprising, occasionally observant coming of age story that entertains for the most part but that actually seems more preoccupied with its own sense of rampant quirkiness than telling a cohesive, cogent story, as is the case with virtually every Greta Gerwig project (even though she's doing her work behind the camera this time).
Enjoy the fine performances by Laurie Metcalf and Saorise Ronan (even though she seems a bit old to be playing a teenager), and laugh at the offbeat, unexpected humor, but don't expect groundbreaking cinema from this somewhat-overhyped offering.
One can only watch these kinds of movies so many times before the formula really starts to get stale.
