Lady Bird

I think _Lady Bird_ is my film for 2017 where me and everyone else on the planet just straight up do not see eye to eye. At no point during _Lady Bird_ did I feel drawn in. I genuinely did not enjoy my time with Greta Gerwig's directorial debut. I haven't come across a single other person who feels...

This is one of my absolute favourite movies of all time. I understand why some might give it low ratings as it is directed at a very specific white female audience but all I have to say to that is "they didn't understand it". This is the ultimate comfort movie for me and I will take no criticism.

She has a strong relationship with her father; a more torrid one with her mother - and generally resents ...

**_Saoirse Ronan coming-of-age at a Catholic school in Sacramento_** During her senior year in 2002-2003, a girl from “the wrong side of the tracks” (Saoirse) takes on the struggles of a challenging mother, friendships, romance and a school play, as well as the pursuit of “culture” and a college...

Lives up to the billing. <em>'Lady Bird'</em> is great viewing. The teen drama bits are solidly portrayed, though it is the family stuff that I think really powers the film to upper echelons. Saoirse Ronan and Laurie Metcalf are terrific, Ronan obviously most so but Metcalf merits praise too; pa...
