Overview

Christine McPherson has already renamed herself. 'Lady Bird' is what she answers to now, thanks very much — a restless, ambitious, often difficult high school senior in Sacramento, California, in 2002, desperate to escape her hometown and get to college on the East Coast. Greta Gerwig's coming-of-age comedy-drama stars Saoirse Ronan as Lady Bird, and it's a warm, funny, deeply honest portrait of the mother-daughter relationship: the fights about money and colleges and clothes that are really about love, and the love that shows up disguised as nagging. It's about wanting more than your hometown can offer, and only later understanding what your hometown gave you.
