Eighteen is a messy age. You think you're an adult. (You aren't.) You think you know better than everyone else. (You don't.) You think every decision you make will impact your life forever. (It won't.) As much as the character of Lady Bird outwardly presents herself as unique, she's just like every other eighteen-year-old inside.
Lady Bird will take you right back to being on that fragile cusp of adulthood. I'm in that headspace while writing this. Which is why I'm about to make this review about me, like any eighteen-year-old would.
This isn't really a true critique since the film itself is so damn good, and this may come off as selfish, but I am definitely craving a mainstream…

Two names. Two boyfriends. Two best friends. Two semesters. Two school plays. Two dances. Two parties. Two distinct relationships with her parents. Two potential colleges. Two churches. And a hundred million kajillion tears for the scene at the airport.

yessssssssssSSSS
film festivals are fun because sometimes you get a heads up that a lot of people are about to have a new favorite movie. this is one of those times.
beyond being hilarious, unflinchingly honest, and performed to perfection, Gerwig's debut is just so, *so* smart about growing up, leaving home, reconciling teenage flippancy with parental gratitude, how class infects self-identity, and the enduring power of a certain Dave Matthews Band song. also, Tracy Letts drops one of the greatest, most understated f-bombs in film history.
a movie that audiences should be discovering and holding onto for a long time to come… hopefully it fares better than THE EDGE OF SEVENTEEN.

this might have been my favorite theater experience ever. I loved that the crowd I saw it with was a bunch of older women, because during the airport scene all you could hear was crying. and honestly? it was so so beautiful. my mom is my best friend and i’m so glad she took me to see this for a second time.

no jokes here i just felt every single emotion i’ve ever felt since i was 17 so viscerally i physically felt Greta Gerwig breathe “cry you piece of shit” down the back of my neck

We put this on while preparing for our Oscars party yesterday afternoon and I found myself getting sucked into every scene going "Oh shit, now this part's great." A perfect movie. Every scene, every line is flawless and eminently quotable. Gerwig doesn't get enough credit for how truly hilarious this movie – as a comedy alone, it might've been the funniest film of 2017. Saoirse's performance is stunning and I'm still stubbornly insisting that Metcalf should've won Best Supporting Actress.

two terrific details i noticed this time around:
a) holy cow, laurie metcalf’s car scenes. my heart is so heavy. obviously, her solo drive around the airport is crushing, but the only other scene where she’s driving alone also says so much. when she's driving home, quietly taking in the parts of the city she loves, we realize it’s her only nice and blissful moment of the day. the next time she drives is when she chooses to pick up lady bird from kyle’s on the way home– not because lady bird needed her, or because miguel had to, but because “it was easier.” for who?  
it's also great to notice when she wants to call her "lady bird" and…

Watched this numerous time, and i still get emotional over it. Coming of age movie about the struggles relationship with her mother. Simple plot yet overlooked.

Review by Modigros ★½

La vie de ma mère de base j’ai regardé le film juste parce que l’actrice principale est grave belle sauf que le truc c’est que le film parle de rien d’interessant, a part une fille qui se cherche et qui appart pleure et crie sert strictement à rien.
En plus le film Posséde une fin complètement éclater frère un moment ça va deux secondes...
Le pire du pire c’est que le film a été nominée au oscars mais c’est des tarré !
J’aimerais juste avoir à quoi sert ce film vraiment !
