There are more coming of age movies than anyone would probably want to count, but the journey from youth to (at least a little) maturity isn’t always all that interesting. A lot of times we are simply young, do a lot of dumb things, and then realize - usually a little too late - that we made a bunch of mistakes. So we make a personal vow not to do them anymore. Dust off your hands and put away your childhood: you’re more mature now.
So it is to writer/director Greta Gerwig’s credit that her new film Lady Bird (her first as a solo director) could be boiled down to such a simple essence and yet still feels distinctive, and maybe even original. The story of a teenaged girl named Christine - who insists on being called “Lady Bird” - is a constant little battle between her ego and her sentimentality. She clearly has a heart. She sometimes forgets to use it, because she’s young and trying to be cool, independent, and wise beyond her years.
