I loved this movie. The acting, direction and script were just perfect. Having read the other reviews, I would strongly suggest that adult dramatic films shoudl only be reviewed by adults above the age of 30.

I thought this movie was fantastic. For those who didn't like it just because Lady Bird was too self absorbed, self centered & selfish, well....guess what --- that's just realistically how teenagers ARE. The mother she has in this film isn't much of a mother to her anyway, so no other personality could really be expected of the girl. Lack of respect & consideration begets the same. Any girl of this age is looking to make a life for herself & is getting to know herself and what she wants in life. Kudos to the great acting in this so true-to-life film.

I find it amusing that people who either really dislike a film tell others to avoid it. News flash: Different tastes make the World an interesting place. "Lady Bird" is a refreshing and wonderfully scripted, acted and directed film that made me smile and think. I was talking about this lovely film for days, with friends, who also really loved it. Admittedly, if you don't like slice-of-life films that don't have THE END type of endings then this film is most likely not for you. I suggest that film goers read the synopsis of a film before seeing it. It will save you grief and will save us from reviewers that hated a film for being something they would never see, if they knew something about it. That's why I avoid Marvel Comic movies. I would never be able to write a positive review of something that has no interest to me. Lady Bird was a wonderful film, to me.

Lady Bird dallies between true friends, fake friends as a means of avoiding her family. I dont know.... She has a very engaging personality but as she noted: her dry hemps were better.

To all you dear viewers that say it’s depressing and not worth the time think again !!! It’s the most accurate and sincere coming of age portrail I’ve seen in a long time . If you have a teen daughter or son go see it !!! Fantastic script and acting. I hope it’s a candidate for awards season .

If you can manage to get your hands on a copy of New Waterford Girl (1999), you will see a much funnier and more engaging film with virtually the same plot of a young girl trying to escape her circumstances. Lady Bird is a much less likeable protagonist than the very sympathetic Moonie Pottie as the New Waterford Girl.

Well made and well acted. Unfortunately, the film has no real plot, and no real plot resolution, which (of course) equates to an unremarkable story. The central character "Lady Bird" is a self-absorbed dullard who wishes to attend school in the northeast United States instead of in Sacramento, CA. She's willing to remorselessly pursue this "dream" at the financial sacrament of her struggling family. She's dishonest and self-serving, and treats her friends and family poorly. She becomes more aware of her selfish flaws by the end of the picture, but doesn't seem to change in any profound sense. She simply drinks too much one evening, then decides to abandon her self-given nickname of "Lady Bird," opting in favor of her actual name. (whup-dee-doo!) There are some very good performances from supporting characters in the film, and one wishes Lady Bird were more engaged with these characters, rather than her situation as a catalyst in her own character development. (What a strange choice to make by the writer of this tale!) I'm not really clear as to why so many critics have gushed over this movie. Immaturity?
