Review of Lady Bird (2017) by Warriorlily — 06 Dec 2017
A sweet, but rootless, meandering, unremarkable movie that seemed like it was lacking a vital life energy. All the good bits are in the trailer. Best thing about this was the brilliant Laurie Metcalf. You've got the usual teenage fare: concerns about college applications, sex, and friends but nothing wholly original.
I know I am bucking the trend by saying these things, but I just don't get what all the critics are excited about. I am shocked that Rotten Tomatoes gave it 100%. Did Birdman get 100%? What is up with that? If you really want to see a brilliant movie, go see The Florida Project.
That lives up to the hype. This movie was tepid, lackluster and forgettable.
