Lady Bird is good in the way that Jane Austen's books are good: Not because it's extremely original or mindblowing, but because this is the story of a female teen told by someone who is a woman and was a teen not a lot of time ago, not by a 52 year old male. Having gone to a Catholic High School, coming from -economically- a family similar to hers, and having family members with depression did help me relate to her and make this an all tears film for me. But I feel like this film will resonate with everyone, whether you're male, black, white, latino (like me), gay, straight or bi, because it isn't just the story of a teenage girl, it's a story about growing, learning to appreciate your family, accepting yourself and just daring to be you, just you. It's about being a teenager...
P.S.: The skirt checking scene is legit af
I waited my whole life for this to happen
