Christine, or Lady Bird as she prefers to be called, is a senior in high school. She is, like a lot of people at that age, still figuring out who she is. The movie follows her over the course of her final year in high school. She joins the drama club, dates a couple guys, goes through a couple friendships, applies to college, learns to drive, and deals with her family. The movie is framed as being about Lady Bird's relationship with her mother. Her mother is an important part of the movie but if feels as though it is about more than that. It is about Lady Bird figuring out who she is.
I enjoyed the movie quite a bit but halfway through I still wasn't sure what to make of it. In many ways it felt very much like an average indie film up to that point. It wasn't until probably two-thirds of the way in that the movie started to really move me emotionally. Is it a perfect movie? No, but I enjoyed it quite a bit.
