Message: [QUOTE="nwhoopfan, post: 2613636, member: 7894"] I watched "Lady Bird" last night. I have to say I was a bit disappointed given all I had heard about it. I think much of the movie is so specific about a mother-daughter relationship, I couldn't really relate. I'm not a female, so I've never been a teenage girl, a daughter or a mother. I found much of the movie to be very mundane. I thought the mom was fairly awful. Just could not bring herself to ever compliment her daughter or be supportive. Of course she loved her daughter, but as Lady Bird pointed out she didn't seem to like her at all. I watched a making of featurette after I was done with the movie. I actually enjoyed that significantly more than the film itself. I realize Greta Gerwig is too young to play the mother and too old to play the daughter, but she was so charming during this segment that I found myself thinking the film would've been much better if she somehow could've been onscreen.
