I feel like just about everyone will connect with this movie in some way. It's funny, sad, charming and honest. Saoirse Ronan's performance is one of the best of the year. Her chemistry with Laurie Metcalf makes the Mother/Daughter relationship really work. Lucas Hedges and Tracy Letts are both fantastic too. I think every kid in high school should watch this movie. Edit: I saw this again and it is still my favorite of the Oscar nominations. It really has a way to make you feel like your in high school again. Makes you realize how much you parents do for you and how much I love mine. Edit 2: I watched this again, twice in two days, this time with my parents. My dad was cracking up at every time Lady Bird was shit talking her mom while my mom didn't think it was that funny. He also said some of the dad's lines literally right before he said them. After it ended my mom said "That's it? I thought she was going to come back and write her mom a check."

Greta Gerwig is such a talented Writer, Director, and Actor. I was so excited to see this movie and was not disappointed. I look forward to everything Greta does and can’t wait to see what’s next. Lady Bird is a must see in theaters!

I wish I'd seen the same film everyone else on the planet seems to have seen. I suspect the one I saw had gone bad. Maybe it'd been out too long because it was not at all fresh, but a bit stale and a tad bland. I protest! I ordered the same thing everyone else had! As it is, I'm sending this one back.

Normally I wouldn't recommend to watch a movie this terrible, but this a different kind of terrible. If you're a filmmaker you should definetly watch it, because you can easily understand what went wrong with it, and learn from its mistakes. I dind't like anything, from the acting, to the camera movement, the colour grading, the cinematography, the plot, the character arc, not to mention the ending. A regular watcher can't tell what this film is about once it's finished, it's just a normal story. Which is totally fine, not every movie should carry a deeper meaning in it. And a story as such should aim to engage with the audience in an emotional way. Which is the worst part about this movie. It's uncomfortable half of the time, and i wouldn't want to be in it. The pacing was the only thing that was okay and that sustained my attention, other than my interest in understanding why it was so terrible watching it.

So obviously, I had to see **Lady Bird** being the RT/MC snob that I am with a weakness for these independent films. Since it had a 100% RT fresh and 94% MC rating, I had to see what was all the fuss. I definitely enjoyed the film quite a bit and it definitely hit home with a lot of the emotional li More

[9.3/10] Escape followed by appreciation. Longing that leads to wistfulness. Rebellion that gives way to gratitude. It’s a familiar trajectory that most teenagers experience at some point. Young adulthood is a time of self-discovery, where kids like Christine “Lady Bird” McPherson try on diffe More

What do you get when you mix 1/4 "Heathers" and 3/4 after school special? This movie.

I think this film is one of the best examples of how the Rotten Tomatoes scores can be misleading. The RT scores are an indication of either a positive or negative score and nothing more. A film like More

A well-made coming of age story Lady Bird takes an interesting look at the coming of age, parent-clash storyline. With well-established actors at the top of their game could this addition to a well-worn and frankly over-used Pantheon say anything new?

I have to be honest Lady Bird with all it is More
