Lady Bird

Greta Gerwig's "Lady Bird" charts the tumultuous final year of Christine "Lady Bird" McPherson's high school career in Sacramento. A fiercely independent spirit, Lady Bird clashes with her overprotective mother as she navigates the treacherous waters of adolescence, romantic entanglements, and the looming specter of adulthood. Through a lens both tender and acerbic, Gerwig captures the pain and pleasure of self-discovery, where the most profound insights often emerge from the sharpest conflicts.
