“The full complexity of a mother/daughter relationship gets a workout in Lady Bird, Greta Gerwig’s debut as a writer-director. It’s a disarming charmer, and one that’s fully committed towards narrative sympathy for its variety of characters. It’s equally likely to make you laugh as it is to make you cry, and sometimes it manages to switch between the two poles all in the same scene so masterfully that you barely noticed it happening. This dichotomy is there right from the opening scene. Christine, who has dubbed herself Lady Bird for no particular given reason other than that her ambitions are as scattershot as they are gigantic, and her mother have completed both a college visit and listening to The Grapes of Wrath on tape. As they wipe away the tears from their faces, Lady Bi” read more
Film Journal 2018 (179 movies items)"Lady Bird is a movie through which you re-experience all the classic hijinks you experienced when you were a teenager. I never had these experiences so I mostly come to these to appreciate the good acting and occasionally funny situations. It's OK for that."

Movies Viewed in 2018 (361 movies items)"Once you have got over the leisurely approach to storytelling, this coming-of-age drama is a delight, with Saoire Ronan as a girl longing to escape Sacramento to go to school in New York, yet has one more year at high school, so has to make the best of a bad thing. Ronan is superb as is Laurie Metcalf as her mother in an impressive debut for Greta Gerwin. Funny, sweet and touching, this is one of the best tales of a female crossing over into adulthood."

DVDecember 2017 (32 movies items)"First viewing - Dec. 3rd Much ado has been made over Lady Bird, to the point where I had to check it out for myself. The cast pretty much knocks it out of the park, and all the awards buzz around Ronan and Metcalf is well-deserved. It's smart and funny and heartfelt and there's really nothing I can complain about. I don't think it's the best film I've seen this year, but I suspect it'll be in my top 10 at least. And here's hoping Greta Gerwig has more great stories in her to tell."
