Reviews

This is my first time i am writing a review on IMDb. I have been a long time user of IMDb, but i have never have the urge to comment on a movie untill now. This movie is a great example of what is wrong with this world. The movie is about the main charecter called "Lady Bird" who will give up everything to become popular. Dumps her best friends, have sex with a jerk, lies and going against her parrents just to reach her goal of becomming polular. This movie is just a normal story about a girl where NOTHING really happens. The reason to the movie's succes is the way girls and women identify themselvs with "Lady Bird". Unfortunately almost every girl have been throug this period of their life, and by watching this feminist movie, they get the feeling of what they have done, or is doing is okay because this is the norm. Lady Bird is saying that it is okay for women to behave like "men", but it is not. It is not right for men to behave like "men" either. To get back to the movie it is boring and trivial. Laurie Metcalf delivers a great performence in this movie and it is such a shame it is wasted in such a trivial movie. The movie is filled with clichés that just indicate from the beginning that it is not a "new movie" we are about to watch but instead just another movie about normal girl that has been done many times before. When i heard about this movie i thought i was going to se a movie like "Boyhood". Nothing really happens in this movie either, but it is catchy and you get a lot of empathy with the charecters. It does everything that "Lady bird" tries to do. All things considered this is not a movie worth watching, and 5 oscar nomination is 4 more than it deserves.
