In 2002, in Sacramento, Lady Bird is a teenager full of imagination and artistic sense that has to face adolescence problems and also learn the value of practical things.
A wonderful film about the obstacles of adolescence when real emotions and feelings or the desire for them seem to exceed practical realities in importance and possibilities. It presents a mother-daughter relationship that seems so authentic and naturally portrayed by Saoirse and Laurie Metcalf that you would think it was written and interpreted by the persons that had the first hand experience. Everything about Lady Bird's story screams authenticity and realism, including the contrasts between the humor and the dreaming and the cruel realities of unemployment and depression. Saoirse Ronan puts her unique imprint on the character so that you would imagine that anyone else in the same role would have obtained a quite different character portrait.
