Saoirse Ronan was the draw to this film for me. Her range of characterization and proficiency of craft makes every character she inhabits special and true, as is her Lady Bird. Although Saoirse was surrounded by a solid cast, Laurie Metcalf gave a performance I didn't know she had in her. This movie would have fallen apart had the two lead roles not held their own against/with each other. Although this film is a coming of age story, it is also nuanced, quirky, funny, sad and poignant, and, it delivers our character to a destination at the end of her journey, something lacking in many slice of life films of this generation. This is a good movie, you'll feel strongly for the characters and get caught up in their journeys. I give it a 7 (good) out of ten for the story, but the performances of Ronan and Metcalf a 10 (perfect) out of 10. [Comedy-in-life Drama]
