Let us anticipate Greta Gerwig's directorial debut "Lady Bird"

Derp, yeah it says 2002, I don't know why I thought 90s. Maybe because of the use of Crash.

Slums is a much better movie

Ladybird is good but it’s been done way better

Suburbia - slums - little miss sunshine ♥️

did they ever say why she wanted to be called Lady Bird?

No they didn’t, I watched it again to see if I missed anything but this is never explained! wtf

that's one of the good things about it

Lots about this movie felt auxiliary, like sometimes it was nice that certain characters were not expanded on too much but given their moment but some major characters felt underdeveloped to me, like the Mom (despite a wonderful performance).

when you're a teen, are moms ever really knowable

fwiw I took the musical choices of LB and her friend to be kind of this nerdy friend thing where they were still really stuck on the songs that came out when they were in middle school

What I liked most about LB was that it seemed made with a light touch which also suggested confidence/assurance. I loved when it indulged silly and absurd humor, like the football coach's stage directions.

The movie didn't really "stick with me" but definitely charmed and entertained.

i guess tuition got too expensive in NYC for Lady Bird :/ https://t.co/sG7T6LBuB4

She shouldn't have taken that magazine!

wow @mugshotbaes is an obnoxious concept

absolutely but I won't deny I legitimately lol'd at this the moment I caught it

I was yesterday years old when I found out Beanie Feldstein is Jonah Hill's little sister.

you can see it in her face, but yeah, this is not widely known i dont think

oh weird.

this was great. so, so many killer lines

I watched it a few days ago and didn't actually care for it!

You monster why on earth not

I can't remember, I was drunk.

:)

Watching a movie drunk seems weird

not sure id actually seen saoirse in anything, tbh. jesus shes note perfect and better in this.

doing anything drunk seems weird, because youre drunk

Saoirse Ronan is the best

She hasn't given a bad performance yet.

I taught this film last fall -- my students love it.

I’m way overdue to see Brooklyn.

Alfred I should reiterate that I recall that your review you linked upthread really touched me.

Watching a movie drunk seems weird

― silby,

There's a pandemic on!

I do love Saoirse, though. A LOT.

I know the film makes her dowdy deliberately but I think she's astonishingly beautiful and she is so simpatico.

oh! Thank you! *hugs at 10 feet*

Brooklyn is old-fashioned solid-good film making and it is great and she looks incredible throughout. It has finesse.

I found it very moving, much to my surprise.

yes, I did too

and Emory Cohen is cute as fuck

yes, looked him up straight away.

He is not cute anywhere else.

his character in the novel is a perfect smouldering flame

he's kinda creepy-cute. intriguing.

I guess that's good/clever casting! xp
