Lady Bird - Not Johnson. Way better.

This week Andrew and Dave conclude their three act examination of Greta Gerwig with the 2017 film Lady Bird. The guys lavish praise on our lead character played by the extraordinary (and finally pronounceable) Saoirse Ronan. They laud her performance as a refreshing contrast to the usual archetypes of teen movies and place the film’s depiction of adolescence among the all time greats. Andrew looks at the movie as a love story in two layers, while Dave frets over the thought that he may be a “Kyle”.
The boys talk about the way the film talks about the way we all talk to each other (wait, what?), and wonder if Lady Bird as well as Little Women offer us a dose of absolution for some of our indulgences. Lady Bird may have come up short at the Oscars, but will it come away with a greater honour, the HOAP? Tune in and find out this week on Hell of a Picture.
