Lady Bird

In some ways, Christine and her mother are remarkably alike. If Christine were to age, she would definitely see Marion in herself—and that is probably why her mother remains so tolerant even when Christine is disrespectful. We can also see the depth in Greta’s screenplay, where characters of all ages carry their own unique struggles. It speaks to the inherent imperfection of every individual, yet highlights the fact that, at the very least, they have one another. Sometimes, we must travel far from where we grew up to realize just how deeply we are rooted there.
