Lady Bird (15)
Greta Gerwig's critically adored directorial debut is a sweet, funny ode to adolescence, small towns and the relationship between mothers and daughters. Set in 2002, it stars Saoirse Ronan as confused, precocious teenager, Lady Bird. She's in her last year at Catholic school and dreams of a life of cosmopolitan culture and Ivy League colleges. Fighting with her mother, falling in and out of love, and navigating the pressure of friendship versus popularity - how can Lady Bird grow up and be true to herself?
This is a loving, funny look at the relationships that shape us and the place we call home. And it might just be one of the defining coming of age films of its generation.
Dir. Greta Gerwig, US, 2017, 94 mins. Cast. Saoirse Ronan, Timothee Chalamet, Laurie Metcalf.
