Review of Lady Bird (2017) by Mrblog_ — 31 Jan 2018

Lady Bird is set in 2002 about a girl who's graduating her Catholic high school and looking for a college that she wants to join and in that time she falls in love with a guy "Danny" also she plays a role in her high school play. The film is from A24 production written and directed by Greta Gerwig it's her first major directed film, she had directed a film before but no one heard about it.

First I want to focus on Christine or Lady Bird character played by Saoirse Ronan, I think the actress herself just transformed completely I remember seeing her in The Lovely Bones when she were younger and I think after 2014 The Grand Budapest Hotel her career went soo good, I loved her performances in both Lost River 2014 and Brooklyn 2015 she were really good in both films. So Lady Bird character is a very good written one by Greta Gerwig and amazingly performed by Saoirse Ronan I loved how she were unbelievably honest you really don't know what she were going to say and I miss that sometimes in some films, I don't like when I can predict everything the actores are going to say.

I swear the movie Lady Bird had one of the best acting performances I've seen in 2017, you just can see how the characters were real I mean the film is too basic and maybe that helped to.

The film was good but very faaaar away from being perfect or a great one, as I said the performances were very good and the direction and screenplay by Greta Gerwig were good but the general audience and even the critics praised the film way too much and I really don't know why maybe because for the fact that the film is directed by a female with all that #Timesup crap I don't really know.. and yes I get the film intention to try to focus on teenagers and inspire them on how they set up their life's financially and romantically, again Lady Bird was good I liked it but it wasn't that good. It not as I got bored from the film, it's just the movie was a normal comedy/drama film and the best thing about it were the actores, of course Saoirse Ronan especially she gave a great performance in Lady Bird.

I don't know if anyone will agree with me on that but I think Lady Bird is one of the weakest A24 film but still very good film, the only thing that I'm still not getting is how people praised it.

I give Lady Bird 7.
