Lady Bird

I think this movie made me cry about 3-4 times, and a movie hasn’t done that in a while. I am not a mother, or a daughter, or ever been to Sacramento, and I wasn’t even alive in 2002, but there is something so deeply human and raw about this movie. I fully understand the Greta Geewig hype now and I need to watch Little Women. And by not getting it before does not mean Barbie is a bad movie by any means, but it’s a very famous IP with some of Hollywood’s most famous actors/actresses with breaks to have a car chase in the sponsorship car, and it didn’t feel as personal as this did. )Although the message and Americas monologue was terrific writing.) There was so much amazing dialogue and camera work and you can really feel the type of director Greta is in this movie. So so so many of the moments felt so real and all of the characters were fleshed out so well, we knew them from Lady Birds perspective and we did not need to know anything else about them. There is something so very unique about the relationship that you hold with your parents rather it is good or bad, they are the reason you are alive and who you are and that is such a strange bond to hold with someone, to be forever indebted. Seeing this did make me a little sad that Saoirse Ronan and Timothée Chalamet did not make a cameo as a Barbie and Ken because they were also in Little Women.
