Movie Review – Lady Bird

in #movies7 years ago

The Oscars were given out recently and I wanted to see at least one of the nominated films. So, when the opportunity came for me to see Lady Bird, a drama/comedy, I was excited. I am a huge fan of Laurie Metcalf between Roseanne and The Big Bang Theory I love her style of inhabiting her characters. I really wanted to like Lady Bird. Here comes the but….at the end of the movie I didn’t get why people were so excited about it.

It’s a day in the life kind of theme which focuses on a girl who is in her Senior year at a Catholic high school and is a self-absorbed teenager. Fill in behavior for a self-absorbed teenager and you have the movie. It is not bad; the acting is excellent leaning more toward the drama and less toward the comedy.

Laurie Metcalf plays the mother character who is struggling with her husband losing his job and a daughter that doesn’t appreciate what she’s got. Saoirse Ronan plays Lady Bird and is great as a mildly obnoxious teenager with unrealistic expectations. I finished the film thinking, that’s it? For what I got, the movie was too long and the ending was far-fetched in the real world.

My opinion is watch the movie for the acting not the story. Let me know what you think.
