Lady Bird is a 2017 American coming-of-age comedy drama film written and directed by Greta Gerwig in her solo directorial debut, starring Saoirse Ronan, Laurie Metcalf, Tracy Letts, Lucas Hedges, Timothée Chalamet, Beanie Feldstein, Stephen McKinley Henderson, and Lois Smith. Set in Sacramento, California from fall 2002 to fall 2003, it focuses on a high school senior who shares a turbulent relationship with her mother.

Filming for Lady Bird took place from August to October 2016 in California and New York. It premiered at the 44th Telluride Film Festival on September 1, 2017, and was released theatrically in the United States on November 3, 2017, by A24, grossing $79 million, becoming their highest-grossing film at the time. The film received widespread critical acclaim, with high praise drawn to Gerwig's screenplay and direction, and the performances of Ronan and Metcalf. It was considered by many critics as one of the best films of 2017 and one of the best films of the 2010s. Lady Bird was chosen by the National Board of Review, the American Film Institute, and Time magazine as one of the top ten films of 2017.[5][6][7] At the 90th Academy Awards, it earned five nominations: Best Picture, Best Actress (for Ronan), Best Supporting Actress (for Metcalf), Best Original Screenplay, and Best Director. At the 75th Golden Globe Awards, the film won two awards—Best Motion Picture (Musical or Comedy) and Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy (for Ronan)—and was nominated for two others. It was also nominated for three British Academy Film Awards. The film was released with a soundtrack.

Plot

In the fall of 2002, Christine McPherson, who calls herself "Lady Bird", is a senior at a Catholic high school[a] in Sacramento, California. Despite her family's financial struggles, she longs to attend a prestigious college in "a city with culture" on the East Coast.

During a car ride, Lady Bird's mother Marion tells her she is ungrateful and her dreams are unrealistic. To prove a point, Lady Bird jumps from the moving car, breaking her arm. Over the course of the film, Marion and Lady Bird repeatedly connect, only for things to fall apart when one of the two equally strong-willed women makes a cutting remark. Lady Bird is tormented by the fact that while her mother loves her, she does not like her.

Lady Bird and her best friend Julie join their school's theater program. Although Lady Bird resents Julie's comparative talent, she meets her new boyfriend Danny through the program. She spends her last Thanksgiving before graduation with Danny's wealthy family, disappointing Marion. However, Lady Bird catches Danny kissing a boy and breaks up with him.

At Marion's behest, Lady Bird begins working at a coffee shop to earn money. She tries to become more popular by bonding with popular students Kyle and Jenna. She exaggerates her family's wealth and vandalizes a nun's car with Jenna. She reconciles with Danny after he tearfully expresses his fear of coming out, but leaves the theater program and spends less time with Julie.

Lady Bird's new relationships begin to fall apart. After she is suspended from school for heckling a guest speaker at an anti-abortion assembly, Jenna tries to visit her and learns that Lady Bird gave her a fake address in an affluent neighborhood. Lady Bird kisses Kyle at a party, and they confess to each other that they are both virgins. However, when they have (underwhelming) sex for the first time, Kyle admits he was lying. Deeply wounded, Lady Bird seeks comfort from her mother, who provides it without asking why.

Marion begs Lady Bird to focus on California colleges, revealing that her father Larry has lost his job and cannot afford out-of-state tuition. Lady Bird's college counselor points out that her application essay shows a great deal of love for Sacramento. Lady Bird dismisses this as mere attention to detail, but her counselor suggests that love and attention are the same thing. Regardless, Larry helps Lady Bird apply to her dream schools in secret, promising to find a way to make the money work. When admissions decisions are released, Lady Bird is dismayed to hear that her presumptive destination is UC Davis, just 20 minutes away. She is waitlisted for a university in New York City, but does not tell Marion.

On prom night, Kyle, Jenna, and Jenna's boyfriend decide to skip prom for a house party. Lady Bird initially agrees to go with them, but changes her mind and visits Julie. They rekindle their friendship and go to prom together.

Danny accidentally mentions the waitlist in front of Marion, who gives Lady Bird the silent treatment for the rest of the summer, even after she is accepted. Before she leaves for New York, her parents drop her off at the airport, but Marion refuses to go inside to say goodbye. Marion eventually relents, but Lady Bird has already gone through security. Marion breaks down crying in Larry's arms.

After arriving in New York, Lady Bird finds several heartfelt, unfinished letters from her mother in her luggage. Her mother threw them away, but her father secretly collected them for Lady Bird. Lady Bird realizes that even if her mother does not like her, the important thing is that she loves her. She begins using her given name again.

Christine is hospitalized after drinking heavily at a college party. After being released, she visits a Presbyterian church service and is moved to tears. She calls home and leaves a message for Marion, apologizing and thanking her for all her help.

Production

Development

Gerwig spent years writing the screenplay for "Lady Bird". At one point, it was over 350 pages long and had the working title Mothers and Daughters.[9] In 2015, Gerwig and her team secured financing from IAC Films, who produced the film alongside Scott Rudin Productions.[10] Gerwig's manager, Evelyn O'Neill, also served as a producer.[10]

Although the film has been described as "semi-autobiographical",[11] Gerwig has said that "nothing in the movie literally happened in my life, but it has a core of truth that resonates with what I know".[9] To prepare the cast and crew, Gerwig gave them her old high-school yearbooks, photos, and journals, as well as passages written by Joan Didion, and she took them on a tour of her hometown.[12][13] She told Sam Levy, the director of photography on the film, that she wanted it to feel "like a memory,"[14] and said that she "sought to offer a female counterpart to tales like The 400 Blows and Boyhood."[11] The film was Gerwig's first as a solo director, though she had previously co-written and co-directed Nights and Weekends with Joe Swanberg in 2008.[15]

Casting

In September 2015, Gerwig met with Saoirse Ronan at the Toronto International Film Festival, where they were promoting Maggie's Plan and Brooklyn, respectively. They read through the script in a hotel room, with Ronan reading the part of Lady Bird, and Gerwig reading the other characters. Gerwig realized, by the second page of the reading, that Ronan was the right choice for the title role.[16][17] In January 2016, Ronan was cast.[18] Gerwig met with Lucas Hedges and offered him his choice of the male parts. He chose Danny.[19][20] Gerwig cast Laurie Metcalf after watching her theater work, while the rest of the cast, including Tracy Letts, Timothée Chalamet, Beanie Feldstein, John Karna and Jordan Rodrigues, was announced in September 2016.[21][22][23]

Filming

Principal photography was scheduled to begin in March 2016, but was delayed to August because of Ronan's commitments to a Broadway production of The Crucible.[24] Filming began in Sacramento, California on August 30, 2016, for one week. Five weeks were spent on location in Los Angeles,[10] with additional shooting in New York City, and filming wrapped on October 1, 2016.[25] Originally, Gerwig wanted to shoot the film on Super 16 film, but due to budget constraints, she ultimately shot on the Arri Alexa Mini. In post-production, the filmmakers emphasized digital noise, to create the effect of a copy of a photograph.[26]

Ronan dyed her hair red for the role and did not wear makeup to cover her acne, viewing the film as "an opportunity to let a teenager's face in a movie actually look like a teenager's face in real life".[27] To put the cast and crew at ease by knowing exactly how the day would run, Gerwig, using a technique she learned from filmmaker Rebecca Miller, arrived an hour before everyone else. She also banned cell phones on the set, which was a policy she borrowed from her partner, filmmaker Noah Baumbach.[28]

Reception

Box office

Lady Bird grossed $49 million in the United States and Canada, and $30 million in other territories, for a worldwide total of $79 million.[4]

In its limited opening weekend, it grossed $364,437 from four theaters, for a per-theater average of $91,109.[36] It had the second best theater average of 2017, and the highest ever for a film in limited release directed by a woman.[37] The film expanded to 37 theaters in its second weekend, and grossed a three-day total of $1.2 million, finishing tenth at the box office.[38] In its third weekend, the film expanded to 238 theaters, and grossed a three-day total of $2.5 million, finishing eighth at the box office.[39]

The film had its official wide release on November 24, playing in 724 theaters and making $4.1 million over the weekend ($5.4 million over the five-day Thanksgiving frame), finishing eleventh.[40] Expanding to 1,194 theaters the following week the film grossed $4.3 million, returning to eighth place.[41] Lady Bird also became A24's highest-grossing film domestically, ahead of Moonlight, which made $27.9 million.[42] The weekend of January 27, 2018, following the announcement of the film's five Oscar nominations, it made $1.9 million (an increase over the previous week's $1.1 million).[43]

Critical response

Lady Bird received a standing ovation at its international premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival,[44] and was praised for Ronan and Metcalf's performances, and Gerwig's direction.[45][46] On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 99% based on 400 reviews, with an average rating of 8.8/10. The website's critical consensus reads "Lady Bird delivers fresh insights about the turmoil of adolescence and reveals debuting writer-director Greta Gerwig as a fully formed filmmaking talent."[47] On November 27, 2017, it became the film with the most professional reviews to remain at 100% on the site with 164 positive reviews, beating previous record holder Toy Story 2, which had 163 positive reviews at the time.[48] It stayed at 100% until a negative review by Cole Smithey was published;[49] Smithey, who had previously done the same for Toy Story 3's record 100% score,[50] later admitted he intentionally designed his review to lower its score.[51] On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 93 out of 100, based on reviews from 50 critics, indicating "universal acclaim".[52]

A. O. Scott of The New York Times described Lady Bird as "big-screen perfection ... exceptionally well-written, full of wordplay and lively argument. Every line sounds like something a person might actually say, which means that the movie is also exceptionally well acted."[53] Todd McCarthy of The Hollywood Reporter wrote the film was "modestly scaled but creatively ambitious" and "succeeds on its own terms as a piquant audience pleaser", and gave praise to Ronan, who he said "just seems to keep getting better all the time."[54] Peter Debruge of Variety praised Gerwig's direction and script as well as Ronan's performance.[46] Mick LaSalle of the San Francisco Chronicle wrote the film was "simply beautiful" and "warm and inspired", hailing the performances of Ronan and Metcalf as well as Gerwig's direction and screenplay.[55]

The Washington Post's Ann Hornaday described the film as a "triumph of style, sensibility and spirit" while similarly praising Ronan's performance and Gerwig's direction.[56] Peter Travers of Rolling Stone rated the film 3.5 out of four stars in which he deemed it as "simply irresistible" and complimented the film's plot and narrative while highlighting the performances of Ronan and Metcalf in which he stated as an "Oscar calling" and Gerwig's direction as "full-blown triumph". He also declared it as one of the year's best films.[57] Richard Roeper of the Chicago Sun-Times called the film "unique and original and fresh and wonderful" and "appealing" while lauding the performances (particularly Metcalf and Letts) in which he remarked that "There's no level of acting on a higher plane than what [Metcalf] and [Letts] achieve in this film. This is what greatness looks like."[58] Alonso Duralde of TheWrap remarked that "Gerwig the actress skillfully pivots between the wacky and the poignant, so it's no surprise that Gerwig the auteur so delicately balances hilarity and heartbreak".[59]

In Paste, Jim Vorel argued that the film portrays an abusive maternal relationship and noted the similarities of Marion's behavior to those with borderline personality disorder.[60]

Potential sequels
