Lady Bird

immediately one of my favourite coming of age stories Greta Gerwig is so good at creating realistic, complex, grey characters. Her mum especially - I was so divided on her throughout the movie; she was such a dick to Christine the whole time but it was also evident that she did truly love her daughter, but then again what use is that if you never show it, what use is it if you don't really LIKE your daughter? Saoirse Ronan gives another impeccable performance too as always. her and Greta Gerwig gonna be the next Scorsese and De Niro 🗣️🗣️ i dont really understand how Greta fucked up Barbie considering her other much more subtle and nuanced movies. the direction in general is really great here again, with this warmness felt through the entire runtime (added by the colour grading). however I didn't feel as strongly for this as I did for Little Women.
