Everything was beautiful, and nothing hurt
Watched Lady Bird (2017) outside of mine and my brothers list.
Was expecting more to be honest given what I had heard and read.
Maybe I would have liked it more if I was a unremarkable teenage girl from Sacramento with an emotionally abusive mother who is trying to find who they are... but hey.
I did like Saoirse Ronan's performance. She was great. And it has some great lines. And is well filmed. And plus marks for having a Love song in it. It also represents teenage lives pretty well... albeit lame teenagers lives, as well as many peoples tendency at that age to try and find who they are and be "someone" or "something".
Just don't see how it was ground-breaking or got the praise and acclaim it did. Like it is "okay" in most aspects really.
Caught it recently. I appreciated just how unlikable the protagonist is written. She's beyond foolish, pretentious, and naive--she's damn near unsympathetic. Considering it comes off as autobiographical, that's a pretty bold choice. It also reminded me quite a bit of my own adolescent foolishness, and I was most definitely not a teenage girl from Sacramento. But yeah, you're right, it was just fine.
