Lady Bird

Watched this with my mom. She cried 😎 Editing and pacing was pretty epic, but idk it kind of felt like not much happened, which is probably the point.  I sort of wish there were more important scenes with the mom to further set up the more emotional end beats of the story. Since her character kind of pops in and out of the story at a similar if not lesser frequency to all the teenage cast and plays such an important role narratively, I would’ve liked for her to play an even more present role. Also they weren’t even poor??? Like they live in a decent sized home, in the city??? The mc has her own (big!) room?? Probably the best, most realistic bedroom set I’ve ever seen though. Movie probably resonates really well with people who have this type of familial dynamic, but fortunately I can’t relate, my mom always tells me that she loves me and that she’s really proud of me…sorry guys!! 😋😋😋  Even so, for how much people praise the mother-daughter dynamic, within the confines of the movie itself, I feel it really isn’t present or explored in that much of a substantial way.
