LADY BIRD

Many consider “Lady Bird” one of the best coming-of-age movies. This film, directed by Greta Gerwig and released in 2017, grossed a total of 79 million dollars worldwide, with 5 nominations in the Oscars and 2 awards in the 2018 Golden Globes. This movie has generated much love and affection for the people who have watched it, especially for young girls and women entering adulthood.

This film follows the story of Christine, known as “Lady Bird” in her life during her last high school years, and how she deals with careers, university, her friends, love interests, and her familiar relationships. We see a complicated relationship between her and her mother. Sometimes they treat each other like best friends, but sometimes they hate each other and can’t stand to see one another. This is one of the reasons why this movie is so relatable, and how it creates this relationship with the audience. How Saoirse Ronan portrays the protagonist makes it feel real, relatable, and natural.

This is the perfect movie to watch with your mom, your friends, your partner, or even by yourself, when you’re feeling sad or happy, it’s always the mood for “Lady Bird”. It’s one of those movies that gives you a warm hug to the heart, those comfort movies you want to be a part of and that you miss them once you finish watching them. I consider this one of my favorite films because it truly makes me feel understood and it’s portrayed in a simple, yet beautiful way. It is so visually pleasing and compelling that it’s not just the story that attracts you to it, but the whole settings and lighting style that make this movie such a wonderful piece of art.
