Coming of Age, Complex Relationships, Mother-Daughter
This film feels so real. Senior year of high school is a meaningful, crazy, exhausting, and difficult year. For me, it was a roller-coaster of emotion, much of it negative and awful. But it was also rewarding. I love that this film shows us how strong the bond between mother and daughter can be. Even when it looks ugly. And it can look brutally ugly. Ladybird also shows us that first loves can be fleeting and disappointing, that friendship is confusing, that it is difficult to prove yourself when you don't even know yourself...and then comes those first few weeks of college. So dramatically different from everything before. And then you realize what you had. A truly wonderful film.
