Plot
Christine, who calls herself Lady Bird, is a strong-willed teenager in Sacramento in 2002, who wants to escape to college in New York. She argues with her mother, falls in and out of love, and navigates friendships at her Catholic school. Greta Gerwig's 2017 debut, with Saoirse Ronan and Laurie Metcalf, is a warm and funny coming-of-age story.
Sinekatalog’s take
Greta Gerwig's debut is a funny, affectionate coming-of-age film about a girl and her mother. Saoirse Ronan and Laurie Metcalf are superb, and the small moments feel true to life.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
