Lady Bird - Teen Issues and More

Who says coming of age stories are passe? This Oscar-nominated film Lady Bird  is written and directed by Greta Gerwig which is also her direvtorial debut. The film is probably a great achievement for women as it was nominated for Best Picture and Best Director by the Academy Awards.

While she waits for her application, she continues to study as a high school student in an Catholic School. There is various moments of fun with the scenes that are similar to many high school experience, myself included.

Lady Bird is not the only one on the spotlight as the characters around her like Julie, Danny and Kyle with their own dramas in life which are subtly funny yet essential for the story.
