Lady Bird

Way better than I remembered it, actually kind of a masterpiece. Every character and dynamic feels so genuine. There’s a palpable authenticity and a subtle sense of cinematic instinct that elevates beyond  just achieving realism like Greta’s previous work in the mumblecore genre and makes it feel like a true modern classic. I would love for Gerwig to return to this kind of film, I enjoyed Barbie just fine and I’m sure Little Women is great but the fact that she came out of the gate with such a fantastic grounded original film and has yet to do that again; it kinda feels like a crime.
