Review of Lady Bird

I have seen at least three of her films. In every case she is outstanding. Unlike Brooklyn where she turned from a modest duck into a stunning swan, Ronan stays awkward while giving a seamless performance. As a parent with adult children, there isn't anything about this movie that seems ridiculous or contrived. All of the performances are top shelf. While mostly set in a Catholic HS, the RC faith, the religious orders, and the attitudes of the laity are never ridiculed nor caricatured.

There is some salty language and a few strongly suggestive scenes. But I wouldn't hesitate to take a mature teen to see it.
