Lady Bird, a film by actress-turned-writer/director Greta Gerwig’s
autobiographical coming-of-age drama, Christine “Lady Bird” McPherson played by Saoirse Roman is
a Catholic high school senior who longs to escape her frustrating lower-middle-class
in Sacramento for East Coast college life. Set in 2002, her story is one of
romantic ups-and-downs—with both Lucas Hedges and Timothée Chalamet playing
romantic suitor and familial tension, the latter felt in her strained
relationship with her mother played by Laurie Metcalf. There’s nothing
Earth-shattering here, but Gerwig’s script has a sharp sense of time, place and
the roiling emotional turmoil of its protagonist, whose attempts to carve out a
mature identity are authentically messy.
