Lady Bird in Limited Release

I still haven’t seen any of the big art house movies, including Lady Bird. And I’m running late this week because of the holiday, so I’m going to stick with this, now expanded to a few more theatres around the Sound. Although it should be noted that Takashi Miike’s Blade of the Immortal is now in its fourth week at the venerable single-screen theatre, so you should probably check it out. Here’s Ryan on Lady Bird: A24 continues their remarkable streak of films that played at the New York Film Festival and focus on young people with Greta Gerwig’s solo directorial debut Lady Bird. While it has clear strands of DNA from Gerwig’s prior great films co-written with Noah Baumbach, the movie possesses a easy sprightliness all its own. Starring Saoirse Ronan as the eponymous high school student over her senior year as she navigates filial, romantic, and platonic relationships in the staid environs of Sacramento, it is one of the sweetest and most deeply felt films of the year.
