Lady Bird - DVD

I LOVED this movie. If you want a feel-good movie done by incredible actors, give this one a try. I have probably watched it 10 times. The characters are so well developed, and the story is beautiful

The performances are rich and engaging. I can watch Ms. Ronan in anything. Her initial musical audition is classic. The cinematographer achieves an ambitious palette, the sort all too often ignored in indy work, which is unfairly considered light on a cinema-level, perhaps because there are few explosions to admire. The look according to helmer Greta Gerwig mimics the fabric of memory -- now that is ambition I admire -- with a washed-off, remote, nonetheless color-saturated texture influenced by period specific "fanzines" pressed-off at Kinko's in those sweet days. It was also nice to see Sacremento photographed with love for a change, in a way that suggests all life does not die outside of NYC and LA, the problem of entirely too many films. These extra touches make the piece shine. Still, in watching it, with the realization that "The Breakfast Club" has now been collected by the Criterion Collection, (good for them for understanding film; even Eric Rohmer's "Pauline at the Beach" is merely a beach tale. I could not help but consider how a work, such as "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" (consider the slowed-down art museum sequence) would have been a Best Picture / Director nominee today, now that American film is starting to better understand cinema. This, too, seems doubly the case when one considers Cameron's meltdown in the John Hughes work. Even "Some Kind of Wonderful" and "Lucas" wear well with age, especially now that multiplexes are dominated by the inane. This film is great. Do not get me wrong. And while standing beside those earlier giants alone bodes well. But I cannot give it a mere four stars for not living up to prior classics, or even the greater Gerwig-penned work, "Frances Ha," or "Miss America," both of which I adore - ADORE. I cannot take away a star, especially in today's film atmosphere, so saturated with spectacle over character. There is something intentionally minor about the work which could, at points, swing for the fences just a bit more, as in the sequence near the close of the film in which Lady Bird visits a church and re-adopts her name - on her terms. BRAVO.

I enjoyed this movie, im 21 and saw some similarities with my own life as a teenager. This is a story about a young teenager thats goes by Ladybird, shes trying to go through life, new experiences, trying to create independence for herself while her mother stills has the strings to pull emotional manipulative behavior over and over again on her daughter, and eventually her daughters behavior as a teen comes out in big growth steps for ladybird, but the way ladybird makes decisions is based off fantasy and idealization as well as the escapism of going to college in a big "wonderful" city and this mainly because her mother doesnt feel like home to her and doesn't give ladybird the support she needs. I think quite a lot of people were disappointed on how spot on this movie showed an abusive narcissistic relationship between the mother and daughter, where the mother is constantly passive-aggressive, manipulative, and emotionally abusive to her daughter. Now if you pay attention to these small details you'll realize why her mother is the way she is, and this is because the mother had an abusive alcoholic mother. Pay attention you will realize alcohol is very common and symbolic within this movie, you'll notice the daughter eventually drinks more as her mother becomes more like the abusive mother she had, passing it down to ladybird. Interesting enough I noticed many reviewers were disappointed in this movie because they said the teenager is "self-entitled, selfish, and disrespectful towards her mother, which is exactly what someone would say when they have normalized manipulative behavior which says something very clearly that the viewers side with an emotionally abusive mother, which blatantly shows how brainwashed people have become by their parents control issues and manipulative behavior masked as "warm" and they just "cares deeply" you will notice these were words used by Lady bird to save her emotionally manipulative mother at times because she is "soft" at the times when it only meets her emotional needs and not ladybirds needs from a motherly figure. Ladybird has no other natural way to be in her situation then exactly the way she is in this movie, in fact is was beautifully spot on. If you think that the mother's behavior towards her daughter and her husband is acceptable well to break it to you, you had narcissistic manipulative a parent/parents. I almost gave this 4 stars instead of 5 at first because of the way it ended, I "fantasized" for closure and an apology from the mother in person, but at the same time this movie is REALISTIC and there's much work to be done within the mother to heal and for the daughter to heal and for ladybird to set healthy boundaries with her mother with time and usually that doesnt just happen at 18 years old.

I bought this as a used product and it came in great condition, the dvd works well. It's also one of my favourite films.

Film simpatico, come si usa nel cinema d'oggi. Un gioiellino.Attrice favolosa, madre come non si vedeva da Gente comune. Se avete amato Timothee in Chiamami col tuo nome amatelo cosi' e non come lo stronzetto che e' in questo film. Con Chiamami col tuo nome e Tre manifesti ad Ebbing Missouri una tripletta da favola, avrebbero meritato molti Oscar in piu'. Orgoglioso di averlo. Lo consiglio caldamente a chi ha figli/e neo diciottenni. Ascoltateli ed amateli. Amazon come sempre puntuale. Film assolutamente da avere.

Début difficile pour trouver en version française sur le menu mais sinon impeccable

ES UNA PELICULA QUE GUSTA Y MUY DIVERTIDA PARA VER EN FAMILIA LA RECOMIENDO 🇪🇦

Film molto bello sul rapporto madre e figlia e sulla crescita personale.
