“I want you to be the very best version of yourself that you can be”
I’m a twenty-two, white, English male. I was somewhat trepidatious going into Gerwig’s Lady Bird and feeling on the back foot of any emotional connection. It took me all of two minutes, and I was undoubtedly hooked. Gerwig’s film tells the glorious tale of naive adolescent individuality. Anyone over the age of eighteen will be devastatingly observant, and ultimately heartfelt when Gerwig shows you all the mistakes you’ve ever made, with of-course a dark melancholy edge. Gloriously witty and addictive, regards to a perfect screenplay and performance from Ronan, who embodies the titular character, as if I’ve known her all my life.
