Greta Gerwig stunns critics with her directorial debut in the charming "Lady Bird". I have finally got to see a movie for the adolescents which seems almost mainstream but is not packed with perfect faces of actors who are way older than their characters.
The action is based in Sacramento, California, in the beggining of the 21st century. The plots is centred on Christine McPherson (Saoirse Ronan), a high school senior who wants to be someone else (for instance, we can see it in the name ""Lady Bird" that she uses; "It was given to me, by me"). Lady Bird gets older and finds out about the perversity, hardships and formosity of growing up. She has to understand that with independence come many responsibilities. She starts to get involved with all the problems faced by her family and friends.
Greta Gerwig did a great job; especially when talking about the young cast. The ones who stood out for me the most where Saoirse Ronan, who fits perfectly in the role of the impetuous Lady Bird, and Timothee Chalamet, who portrays the charming and introverted Kyle Scheible.
The scenery and overall vibe of the movie is almost "cozy". It is a piece that is perfect for long autumn evenings, spent under under a blanket with a cup of tea.
All in all, I think that "Lady Bird" is a movie suitable not only for misunderstood teenagers, but also for anyone who wants to relive their youth in a funny, moving and genuine way.
