Drake 08/28/2023 A coming-of-age teen dramedy, from the POV of a sub-upper-middle-class Catholic white millennial from California—so I could plenty empathize, and I do appreciate Greta Gerwig representing our generation on the screen, but those intersectionalities mean the conflicts can only be so much, that they're all of a nature of which they'll sort themselves out with the passing of time, and so many dramatic scenes based on them come off as melodramatic performances from the temporality of a teenager (when there's so time & again a dipping POV following the mother, who should be wiser). All that said, the writing is a quite competent Hollywood 3-act screenplay, with plenty of chuckle-inducing lines, multiple tear-rendering deliveries of monologue-y lines, and a rollicking story to fill a feature-length. Watching in 2023 a film from 2017 set in 2002-03 is uncanny, but this is a worthy addition to the canon for the 21st-century's progression of what John Hughes could muster in the '80s, and the hipster touches (e.g. the Joan Didion epigraph the local band) and depictions of life for an adolescent in the '00s stirred in me that romantic yearning for a simpler time of pre-cynic enjoyment of social living. A full dose of emotional content to invest one's bit of time into. See more David T @Username680 Feb 5 Complete ass, no plot very boring. See more Ethen K. @Ethen Feb 4 This is A Very Good Film. Seeing the relationship between her mom and lady bird was very inspiring. It’s also a very Well written. I really like the journey she went on with trying to get into a good college, While also trying to deal with her mom and hers, relationship and finding her partner. I’d say this film is best to watch for a High school girl since Lady Bird and every other girl in High school is under stress and too afraid to talk to anybody. The twist at the end with the guy was wild though. Overall the plot was very well executed. I enjoyed this film.  See more Laila S @lailasoliman Jan 10 This is a really great movie. I liked it a lot. Amazing coming-of-age film. I would definitely rewatch it! See more Yuri B. @RyuBlack Jan 3 Surprisingly great film... Laurie Metcalf was phenomenal... she's criminally underrated as a serious actress. See more Cory T @D4rk_Ang3l.71 Nov 25 wonderful take on a struggling relationship between a narcissistic mother who doesn't want her daughter to succeed in life because she didn't herself and a wishful, optimistic daughter who wants a better life but who still loves and cares for her family, showing they really do care about each other near the end of the movie.
