BORDERLINES FILM FESTIVAL 2018
Set in 2002 in Sacramento, California, Saoirse Ronan stars as confused, precocious teenager Christine or ‘Lady Bird’, as she prefers to be called. Drifting through her final year at a strict Catholic school, her head is full of daydreams and lofty aspirations for the future, which her abrasive, eminently practical mother Marion (Laurie Metcalfe), frequently deflates. Written by US indie star Greta Gerwig (Frances Ha, Mistress America), her directorial debut is semi-autobiographical, sensitively realised, lacking in preciousness, and touched with a comic edge. Ronan and Metcalf’s sensational performances and Gerwig’s sophisticated writing make this an incredibly pleasurable, personal, and involving coming-of-age story.
Director: Greta Gerwig
Starring: Saoirse Ronan, Laurie Metcalfe, Tracy Letts, Lucas Hedges
