ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
juliacher1987 I just finished watching Lady Bird. I saw the trailer and started watching it straight afterwards. This movie is unique, it has some unusual vibe to it. The actors are amazing and the characters are interesting. But, this movie lacks something. I was trying to figure out what and I don't quite know what it is. maybe the plotline, maybe the pace. I do recommend it, but if you are expecting a HAHA comedy, don't watch it. it is more drama then comedy.
memebigboy-98803 Lady bird is a coming of age film it focus on lady bird and her mother and how there so different, the acting is good the actors know how to be funny and serious, the cinematography isn't good and the lighting is off, one of the plotlines is cliche and wasn't needed, overall go watch it you'll have fun
thesmythley I first learned about this film from a cinema booklet. It was advertised as though it would be focused solely on the dysfunctional relationship between mother and daughter, which would have a sprinkling of nuanced tragi-comic humour.Instead it is another "coming of age" story. This means that you get the same tired old formulas: a male friend who turns out to be struggling to come to terms with his homosexuality, an obnoxious boyfriend and a "Ladybird" (the vainglorious main character) who is a typical misfit that tries desperately to appear important by having sex and almost going to house parties. However, she realises that pretending to be cool is just not cool and the mother-daughter bond faces some kind of reconciliation towards the end through a teary and cliché note. As with all coming of age stories the scenes often give a self-indulgent nudge and a wink to the audience that what has happened is so relatable and witty because "we've all been through it", which often feels forced. The only thing that was funny was the PE teacher, who appears very briefly when he takes over drama class.Ultimately, I think that there are too many characters and an over realiance on witticisms which meant that there was a lack of emotional depth that I was looking for. It was a depressing watch.
grantss Sacramento, 2002. Christine "Lady Bird" McPherson is in her final year of high school. She longs to leave Sacramento and go to college on the East Coast. However, her protective, obsessive mother, pessimistic at her chances, is determined to keep her in California, and ideally nearby to home. Lady Bird's final year of school will be one of discovery, new experiences and finding herself.Sweet, emotional movie, dealing with change, growing up and figuring out who you are. It also deals with parent-child relationships and how these shape us, and how the other party's intentions and motives are often misunderstood. Takes a while to find its focus though. While you figure the movie is a coming-of-age sort of thing, for the most part it feels like it is drifting. Not that this is boring - writer-director Greta Gerwig fills these scenes with humour and many relatable and engaging events. It is more like there wasn't an obvious point to all this.The last few scenes more than make up for this, as everything comes together in profound, emotional fashion. Great performances by Saoirse Ronan as Lady Bird and Laurie Metcalf as her mother. Both received Oscar nominations. Greta Gerwig received a Best Director nomination and a Best Original Screenplay nomination while the movie was nominated for Best Picture.
