With ‘Lady Bird’, Greta Gerwig, in her first solo film as a director, tells us about a specific moment in the life of a specific teenager, but, at the same time, she grabs us by the neck of memory so that we look straight ahead to what we once were and, even better, to what we will one day be. Saoirse Ronan is the face of millions of memories that crowd the mind of a spectator who ends up falling in love with the protagonist and with all those people who have entered her life to stay there. We’ve been told this many times before, of course, but very few with the talent that lives in every corner of ‘Lady Bird.’
