In the film Ladybird, written and directed by Greta Gerwig, Saorise Ronan stars as a high school senior constantly at odds with her mother played by Laurie Metcalf. As a volatile teenager, she refuses her given name and brands herself her name of choice, Lady Bird. The film is a tense, comedic coming-of-age story about growing up poor. It is a heart-wrenching film about the ups and downs of a mother-daughter relationship. As childhood longings and unfulfilled dreams unfold, we are privy to an intense mother-daughter relationship that has more than just economic challenges.
