Review of Lady Bird (2017) by Kelsey R — 09 Mar 2018
Every now and then comes along a film that is totally hyped by the clever clog film critic fraternity. When you actually see it for yourself you are left totally underwhelmed!
Lady Bird is such a film. In some quarters it is actually rated as one of the best films ever. Now come on!
So what is the premise I hear you ask?
Well, it is basically a semi-autobiographical version of director Greta Gerwig's teenage years.
It explores the relationship between an overpowering mother and her independent minded daughter. The daughter called Christine 'Lady Bird' McPherson (Saoirse Ronan).
The film does have some funny moments in the interchange between Lady Bird and her mother.
Lady Bird wants to leave home so desperately that she has applied for college in New York to escape her Sacramento, California roots.
It's a good job the film was only 90 or so minutes long or I would have lost interest early on.
