One of the funniest and most refreshing movies of the year, "Lady Bird" is the movie your family members will thank you for dragging them to. Writer/director Greta Gerwig‘s charming coming-of-age tale follows young Lady Bird (Saoirse Ronan) as she grows up in Sacramento, coming to terms with family issues, boyfriend issues, and friend issues (you know, adolescence!) If it sounds like a movie you’ve seen a thousand times before, it’s not.
This is full of nuance and heartfelt, almost novelistic detail. And what’s more — people will love it (it’s already become something of a word-of-mouth sensation). It’s expanding to more and more theaters each week, so chances are it’ll make it to your local bijou by Thanksgiving.
