About
You’ll like Lady Bird if you want a witty, emotional teen coming-of-age story focused on family dynamics and figuring out what you want, but Not for you if you need a more surprising plot or faster payoff, like with Mean Girls or Dazed and Confused.
Pros: sharp, relatable coming-of-age; mother-daughter tension; funny and heartfelt | Cons: familiar teen beats; some side characters feel slight; not for everyone
