Lady Bird
Petty In Pink

Greta Gerwig‘s directorial debut Lady Bird was… just OK
Yes, I saw it very post-hype, but when the movie got going, I really bought into it. I was rooting for this to be a modern Pretty In Pink – a high school misfit from the wrong side of the tracks, trying her damnedest to fit in, and grab a hot guy. This movie was definitely trying to be its own Pretty In Pink, and it ended up being just pretty (a nice postcard from Sacramento), and pretty much not all that much to write home about
I liked Saoirse Ronan‘s performance as the lead, but the movie felt like a bunch of high school memories strung together with some forced emotional strain between daughter and mother (Laurie Metcalf) that never really connected its dots or come to a gripping conclusion it was hoping to achieve
Still, if you ever wanted to know what a Greta Gerwig character in a Greta Gerwig movie would be like, like how there’s always a Woody Allen character in every Woody Allen movie, then Lady Bird is your gateway to a wig of Gerwig, To me, it’s a movie I’ve already mainly forgotten about, although I would be open to visiting SacramentoÂ
Also, the movie could have used even more Beanie Feldstein, and/or Beanie Wells
Verdictgo: very low ened Jeepers Worth A Peepers
Lady Bird flaps in lil wings at a theater near jews and white nationalists
and until next thyme the balcony is clothed…
