“Lady Bird” is being praised by critics and audiences. This is why you need to go see the movie right now.
Writer-director Greta Gerwig crafts an authentic high school movie with “Lady Bird.”
The movie isn’t just becoming a box-office hit, but is the best-reviewed movie of all time on Rotten Tomatoes.
A big reason for that is the performance by Saoirse Ronan, who delivers a role that is one of the best ever in the coming-of-age genre.
Greta Gerwig has gone from one of indie film’s most sought-after actresses to now being one of its rising directors.
Her first solo directing effort, “Lady Bird,” has become the end-of-year FOMO movie thanks to its award season hopes (it received four Golden Globe nominations on Monday), and status as the best-reviewed movie ever on Rotten Tomatoes (at the time of writing it had an astounding 195 “fresh” reviews). What has wowed audiences about “Lady Bird” (currently playing in theaters) is its authentic feel focused on coming-of-age and family.
