Lady Bird

In Lady Bird, Greta Gerwig reveals herself to be a bold new cinematic voice with her directorial debut, excavating both the humor and pathos in the turbulent bond between a mother and her teenage daughter. Christine “Lady Bird” McPherson (Saoirse Ronan) fights against but is exactly like her wildly loving, deeply opinionated and strong-willed mom (Laurie Metcalf), a nurse working tirelessly to keep her family afloat after Lady Bird's father (Tracy Letts) loses his job. Set in Sacramento, California in 2002, amidst a rapidly shifting American economic landscape, Lady Bird is an affecting look at the relationships that shape us, the beliefs that define us, and the unmatched beauty of a place called home.

This was a very well written and acted movie.  It's exactly what coming of age movies should be like.  You feel like you are there with the girl and going through all the emotions and voyage with her.  It had a great hook to keep the audience there with her and the short running time was perfect.

I would definitely recommend that people check this movie out.  It was a very enjoyable watch with a good hook with the characters - especially the lead actress and her mother.
