Best Netflix movies: Lady Bird
Release Year: 2017
Directed by Greta Gerwig
Starring Saoirse Ronan, Laurie Metcalf, Tracy Letts, Lucas Hedges, Timothée Chalamet, Beanie Feldstein, Lois Smith, and Stephen McKinley Henderson
Lady Bird was just added to Netflix, and it’s must-watch for those who haven’t seen it. The film has an excellent cast, and it’s my favorite of Greta Gerwig’s movies yet. Lady Bird is Gerwig’s directorial debut, and she’s gone on to direct Little Women, which was also nominated for an Oscar this year.
The movie is set in California in the early 2000s and follows Christine, played by Ronan, who is a teenager trying to find herself and dealing with a mother who doesn’t support her. Christine goes by the name “Lady Bird.”
The movie has an incredible cast led by Ronan. Beanie Feldstein, who also starred in Booksmart, is really good, too.
Lady Bird was one of the best movies of 2017, and it was nominated for five Oscars at the 2018 Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Actress (Ronan), Best Director (Gerwig), Best Supporting Actress (Metcalf), and Best Original Screenplay.
