When I read that Saoirse knew why I like that film I thought: she knows that I have mom/dad issues. 6:56 Sent a chill up my spine too and I"m not even Catholic. This movie is so Human and like watching real people living their everyday!it"s really amazing. She"s incredibly pretty. I"m not a fan of rom/coms, but this one is exceptional. Had to hit you with the slow clap bro... well done... Italians are not white.
Offbeat and off brand, Greta Gerwig"s 2017 major studio directorial debut "Lady Bird" is a tale of angst, stress and a strive for perfection and acceptance. The 2002-set film showcases Sacramento in all its glory - or perhaps, lack thereof - and puts Academy Award-nominee Saorise Ronan in the driver"s seat to make an impact on audiences.
Think of it as a more mainstream, female "Napoleon Dynamite, the themes in "Bird" are common ones that many young adults can identify with during the confusing, competitive high school years. At the center of the film is Ronan"s title character (née, Christine) who stops at nothing to escape her hometown for the east coast while battling her mother, Marion (Laurie Metcalf. This rivalry dominates the entire film and helps us understand how one"s environment growing up can have a major impact on their choices in life. Between jumping out of moving vehicles, disrupting assemblies at her Catholic high school and struggling with early love, Lady Bird stumbles her way through senior year in pursuit of being part of the "in crowd."
Of course, this premise offers Gerwig a lot to work with, and her signature dramedic, deadpan tone is a constant throughout "Bird." Everything from the way scenes are shot to the quirky music selection are dripping with proverbial eye rolls, and they all work. Sure, there are a few moments that could cause general audiences gasp, but most of them are done in a way that is not mean-spirited or in poor taste. Aside from Ronan"s A+ performance, others in the supporting cast don"t disappoint, from Lucas Hedges to Timothée Chalamet.
"Lady Bird" was not a monster hit, but it has the building blocks to become a cult classic for this generation, similar to the way "Dynamite" did nearly 15 years ago, and sets up Gerwig and Ronan to become even bigger stars than they already are.
They"re literally Jo and Laurie. Cup of tea and a shortbread biscuit, life really is instantly better. Ã?ã?¬ã?ã??ã?¹ã??ã?»ã?µã??à l"article. Dang, she is so right about cell phones. This is a great movie btw. 1:47 the way saoirse turns to timothee and he reacts. ahh friendship goals. Love JP. Wanted to love the movie. Watched it while distracted and couldn"t extend my disbelief. I guess it just wasn"t realistic enough for me. It sucks getting old. Ignorance was bliss. This is the best thing ever. With this movie being nominated for 5 oscars, I was extremely excited to watch it. However, now that I have seen this movie, I am very confused as to why. I can"t relate to anything about this movie. But maybe that has to do with my upbringing. I am not American nor went to a catholic school. Prom really isn"t a big thing, and wanting to be friends a popular girl/boy is not special. There weren"t any theater clubs in my education system. So I can"t relate to the main character and it"s struggles and successes. As a movie, I thought it was fine, nothing too special. The actors were good, the cinematography was decent. But the story didn"t strike me positively at all. So maybe I just don"t get the whole movie because I just can"t relate to anything about it. I hope I"m not the only one.
IT LOOKS LIKE THEY REFERRED TO PIZZA GATE KIND OF SITUATION.
You"re gonna have so much unspecial sex in your life Well this is weirdly relatable??
When she open the door of the car and threw herself i was like “thats a mood”. Love her. Love her accent. Love the Irish ??. Saoirse and Stephen are a great team.
