Plot

In 2002, Christine McPherson is a senior at a Catholic high school[lower-alpha 1] in Sacramento, California. She gives herself the name "Lady Bird" and longs to attend a prestigious college in "a city with culture" somewhere on the east coast, despite her family's financial struggles. Her mother, Marion, often tells her that she is ungrateful for what she has. Lady Bird and her best friend, Julie, join their school theater program, where Lady Bird develops a crush on classmate Danny O'Neill. This grows into a romantic relationship, and Lady Bird disappoints Marion by spending her last Thanksgiving before graduation with Danny's wealthy family instead of her own. After the opening night of "Merrily We Roll Along", their relationship ends when Lady Bird and Julie discover Danny kissing another boy in a bathroom stall.

At the behest of Marion, Lady Bird takes a job at a coffee shop; there, she meets Kyle (a student at the boys' school), and they begin dating. Lady Bird abandons Julie and ditches tryouts for the new play to bond with Jenna Walton, a popular girl, and they vandalize a nun's car. As Lady Bird grows closer to Kyle and Jenna, she gradually deserts Julie, and she drops out of the theater program. She confronts Danny, but consoles him after he begins sobbing and expresses his struggle in coming out, and they become friends again.

At a house party, while kissing, Kyle implies to Lady Bird that he has never had sex; he denies having said this when she later loses her virginity to him, which upsets her, and she cries in her mom's arms afterwards. When Lady Bird is suspended from school for speaking up at a pro-life assembly, Jenna tries to visit her at home, but discovers Lady Bird had claimed Danny's grandmother's house as hers in order to impress her. Lady Bird admits to the lie, and Jenna agrees to forgive her because of their mutual friendship with Kyle.

Lady Bird learns that her father Larry has lost his job and has been battling depression for years. She applies to east coast colleges, despite Marion's insistence that the family cannot afford the fees, with the help of her father, who fills out her financial aid applications without Marion knowing. Lady Bird is accepted into UC Davis, but is upset because she feels it is too close to home. Learning she is on the wait list for a New York college, she does not share the news with her mother, fearing her response. Lady Bird sets out for her prom with Kyle, Jenna, and Jenna's boyfriend Jonah, but the other three decide to go to a house party instead. Lady Bird originally agrees, then changes her mind and speaks up, saying she actually does want to go to prom. Lady Bird asks them to drop her off at Julie's apartment, where the two rekindle their friendship and go to the prom together.

After graduation, Danny accidentally reveals Lady Bird's place on the wait list to Marion, who stops speaking to her daughter for the rest of the summer. On her eighteenth birthday, Lady Bird's father shares a cupcake with her, and she buys a pack of cigarettes, a scratch-off ticket, and an issue of Playgirl to celebrate reaching legal adulthood. Lady Bird learns she has been accepted into the New York college, and can afford tuition with financial aid with her father's help. Her parents take her to the airport, but Marion refuses to go inside to say goodbye. She has a change of heart and drives back, only to discover Lady Bird has already gone through security. She cries in her husband's arms, who consoles her that Lady Bird will come back.

Arriving in New York, Lady Bird finds several letters in her luggage; her mother had written and discarded them, but her father salvaged them. She begins using her birth name again, and is hospitalized after drinking heavily at a party. Leaving the hospital, she visits a Presbyterian church service and is moved to tears. She calls home and leaves an apologetic voicemail for her mother, thanking her for everything she has done for her.

Cast

Production

Development

Gerwig spent years writing the screenplay. At one point it was over 350 pages long, and had the working title Mothers and Daughters.[8] In 2015, Gerwig and her team secured financing from IAC Films, who produced the film alongside Scott Rudin Productions.[9] Gerwig's manager, Evelyn O'Neill, also served as a producer.[9]

Although the film has been described as "semi-autobiographical",[10] 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".[8] 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 took them on a tour of her hometown.[11][12] She told Sam Levy, director of photography on the film, that she wanted it to feel "like a memory,"[13] and said that she "sought to offer a female counterpart to tales like The 400 Blows and Boyhood."[10] The film was Gerwig's first as a solo director; in 2008, she had co-written and co-directed Nights and Weekends with Joe Swanberg.[14]

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 that Ronan was the right choice for the title role.[15][16] In January 2016, Ronan was cast.[17] Gerwig met with Lucas Hedges and offered him his choice of the male parts. He chose Danny.[18][19] Gerwig cast Laurie Metcalf after watching her theater work;[20] 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 due to Ronan's commitments to a performance of Arthur Miller's The Crucible.[24] Filming began on August 30, 2016 in Sacramento, California for one week. Five weeks were spent on location in Los Angeles,[9] with additional shooting in New York City.[25] Gerwig had 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; she has said she saw the film as "a really good opportunity to let a teenager's face in a movie actually look like a teenager's face in real life".[27] Gerwig, using a technique she learned from filmmaker Rebecca Miller, arrived an hour before everyone else to put the cast and crew at ease by knowing exactly how the day would run. She also banned cellphones on the set, a policy borrowed from her partner, filmmaker Noah Baumbach.[28]

Release

In July 2017, A24 acquired worldwide distribution rights to the film.[29] The film had its world premiere at the Telluride Film Festival on September 1, 2017,[30] and screened at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 8, 2017,[31] and at the New York Film Festival on October 8, 2017.[32] Universal Pictures acquired international distribution rights to the film.[33] It was released theatrically in the United States on November 3, 2017,[34] in the United Kingdom on February 16, 2018, and in Ireland on February 23, 2018.[35]

Reception

Box office

Lady Bird grossed $49 million in the United States and Canada, and $29.7 million in other territories, for a worldwide total of $78.6 million.[3]

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 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
Saoirse Ronan and Laurie Metcalf's performances garnered widespread critical acclaim and earned them Academy Award nominations for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress, respectively.

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 currently has an approval rating of 99% based on 385 reviews, with an average rating of 8.75/10. 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 most-reviewed film ever 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 the 196th review was negative.[49] On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 94 out of 100, based on reviews from 50 critics, indicating "universal acclaim."[50]

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."[51] 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, whom he said "just seems to keep getting better all the time."[52] 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.[53]

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.[54] 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.[55] 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."[56] 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".[57]

A BBC study described the film as the "most overrated by critics" among the 2018 Oscar nominees. This was based on the difference in aggregated scores given to it by critics and collated by Metacritic compared to the scores given to it by the public on the website IMDb.[58]

Accolades

The film also received eight nominations at the 23rd Critics' Choice Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actress, Best Original Screenplay, and Best Acting Ensemble.[64] At the 75th Golden Globe Awards, it was nominated for Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy (won), Best Actress – Musical or Comedy for Ronan (won), Best Supporting Actress for Metcalf, and Best Screenplay.[65] At the 24th Screen Actors Guild Awards, it was nominated for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Leading Role for Ronan, Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role for Metcalf, and Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture.[66]

Potential sequels

Notes
  1. Lady Bird attends an all-girls Catholic school which has an adjoined boys’ school, with whom the students participate in co-educational activities.
  2. The nickname does not derive from former First Lady Lady Bird Johnson, but the Mother Goose nursery rhyme Ladybird Ladybird.[7]
gollark: Well, no, more of a space [HELP ME I DO NOT KNOW HOW STABLE GOVERNMENTS CAN HAPPEN]ocracy.
gollark: I said "no" to some of the space empire ones.
gollark: I'm not entirely sure how anti-groupism and one-world-governmentism are compatible.
gollark: Apparently it puts me at "social darwinism", "one world government", "individualist", "anti-moral", "anti-groupism", "modern technology", "post-race", "secular", "regional centrism", "don't care ism", "realistic" and "irenic".
gollark: Why does the author like saying "spook" so much?
