Movie Reviews:

• Innovator: This movie was ok (it wasn’t boring nor was it very entertaining). At first I didn’t understand the point it was trying to make. Was it you can shortcut your way to your dreams if you lie, cheat, and steal (as that was exactly what she did)? It wasn’t about the pressures of class division (as a review I read states), as no one treated her as any differently regardless of her social status and any division she felt was just in her head. Her anxiety against her parents, the school, and the upper class of her school turned out to be non-issues, and when she got to where or what she wants, she just finds that the grass never gets greener for her once she was on the other side. In fact, she just becomes resented by those she abandons to get there and ultimately ends up longing for the side she left.

  If anything the movie was saying that those who are rich aren’t as unexclusive as those without think, and they are just like everyone else. Just as the main protagonist was rebelling against her life to gain acceptance, so were the kids of the rich in that they are also just seeking acceptance. That doing anything to get your dreams won’t lead to satisfaction as life on the other side isn’t any better, you just end up hurting others by getting there that way, and in hindsight blinded you from what you already had.

  I guess the movie had something to say after all.

  ★★½ – Not dull, nor was it very entertaining.

• Gimly: I think _Lady Bird_ is my film for 2017 where me and everyone else on the planet just straight up do not see eye to eye. At no point during _Lady Bird_ did I feel drawn in. I genuinely did not enjoy my time with Greta Gerwig’s directorial debut. I haven’t come across a single other person who feels the same, but I must be honest to my experience.

  Normally this is where I would say something along the lines of, “It’s just because this isn’t my sort of movie” except that last year _Edge of Seventeen_ dealt with virtually identical subject matter and that was one of my favourite movies of the year.

  So I’m just wrong I guess?

  _Final rating:★½: – Boring/disappointing. Avoid where possible._

• brooket123: This is one of my absolute favourite movies of all time. I understand why some might give it low ratings as it is directed at a very specific white female audience but all I have to say to that is “they didn’t understand it”. This is the ultimate comfort movie for me and I will take no criticism.
