• An interesting and entertaing movie! It shows how complex can be the growing up process. It shows exactly how a young adult is elfish, interested only in her own business… I mean, she doesn’t even noticed her father suffered about depression ! Or, let’s admit it, Lady Bird is in love more of the idea of love than paying attention of love itself… she doesn’t realize her boyfriend was gay!
• Soirse Ronan is thrilling ! Funny, clumsy, chicky… a pure pleasure for the eyes. The irish 24 yo is perfect in Lady Bird’s shoes. And what a transformation! Hairstyle and clothes come right from the 2000s. Authentic.
• Lady Bird’s mother: a real women. We spectator are wondering when occurs the gap in becoming an adult between head in clouds’ Lady Bird and her mother? Concerned about material issues as money, dealing with duble shifts, her husband problems and… well, a daughter that sees nothing over her nose.
• Oh dear 2000s. Love the school parties and relationship between class-mates. Are you the coolest? “If you are still hanging out with Kyle, we can catch up”
• Sacramento- Nyc: or suburbs vs metropolitan city. Nyc seems the perfect city for a head full of dreams. Or not?

Movie rating: 3.5 / 5.

Entertaing but a bit predictable.
