Review of Lady Bird (2017) by Davidwashere — 15 Mar 2018
There are plenty of great coming-of-age films, but very few can be as real as Lady Bird. So much of the dialogue and acting, which is led by fantastic performances from Saoirse Ronan and Laurie Metcalf, to even the look, this is very much a raw and honest portrayal of teenage life.
Nothing felt phony nor unrealistic, everything felt honest. This is what makes this movie so special, the fact that this staged story has this real life feeling and honesty that it transcends all the pitfalls of the atypical coming-of-age teen dramas and instead is a wonderful and thoughtful film about entering adulthood and mothers.
Even with all the arguing and the fighting, at the end of the day we all have this bond with our parents and our parents have to us that will never die! Greta Gerwig has set herself up for what will hopefully be an amazing career in directing and writing for what is truly an honest movie.
