Audience Reviews for Lady Bird

  • Apr 15, 2020
    Lady Bird is a beautifully intimate coming-of-age tale that's provoking, emotional and even funny at times. Greta Gerwig scribes a personal tale that's intertwined with an exceptional leading performance from Ronan to make this film one of the best of the year and the best of recent years under that genre. 4.5/5

    I confess I misjudged this picture. This is a brilliant teen movie, the best I've ever seen!!! I loved it to bits!!

    Quirky, funny, sad and true take on a certain stage of adolescence relying on great characters and actors, a fine choice of music. An all around pleasant experience. I would have had no issue with Gerwig taking the directing Oscar for this.

    From the first couple moments when this movie opens you know its going to be great, the characters pull you in and hold you. It is the story of a girl you always saw in school but never talked too, it was nice seeing things from her point of you. You will laugh, and possible cry and you will definitely have a good time!
