Saoirse Ronan and Greta Gerwig talk Lady Bird | Film4 Interview Special 

"Lord knows we don't need any more films of just women fighting for no reason". Amen.

Greta Gerwig always fascinates me in every interview. I love the way her mind works and how she articulates her experiences.

Greta Gerwig is an incredible director and an extremely talented writer! Can't wait for her next film whenever it comes.

How I find most beautiful about the cinematography of the movie is that the tones are always like sunsetish

Saoirse discusses how the nickname Lady Bird has never been explained as to its origins but I realized tonight it's such a fitting name for the character. Lady Bird desires to fly away and leave the nest and much of the tension in the film between herself and her mother is about her desire for independence, as well as her transition from teenager to adult, hence the word "Lady." By calling herself "Lady Bird" ("Lady" plus "Bird") she is trying to convey to the world that she wants to be seen as an independent, free thinking, creative adult that wants to assert her autonomy and establish her own identity. By giving herself the nickname rather than going by the name she was given by her parents, she is establishing a self-created identity while rejecting her parents' authority. It's very aspirational.

This interview is so good but I can never put enough attention to Saoirse because I'm so focused in her accent and how satisfying it is to listen to her

Greta Gerwig is brilliant! I'm so happy she's getting all the recognition she deserves. Her words are absolutely inspiring.

Greta is genius and so well spoken! Glad she's out here being a strong role model for women in filmmaking :-)

This film really touched me because I could see myself in Christina/Ladybird. My mother and I also have a similarly tumultuous relationship to Christina/Ladybird and her mother's.

Lady Bird was masterpiece.

Love what Gereig says right at the end about combining naturalism and form

as a Cinema student I am aggressively taking note here.

I had to see this movie five time to notice all the details it's incredibly coherent, dense, well done, all the characters have an interesting existence even the least important ones. This movie is about love and care, and to love it we have to care about all the details. The music is 👌

this whole story is incredibly addictive

the acting was gorgeous

and the ladybird has had her own colour, red. warm colours. always contradiction with the colour of other people's attire except for the very few momemts when she did connect with them, like the nun in that quote scene and her mother and best friend sometimes.

Two empowering women 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪 Frances Ha is one of my favorite films xxx

Saoirse has a good eye for scripts

I had watched Lady Bird on my TV when I didn’t know Who the director was. When I did know at the end, I didn’t know who Greta was. I watched the full movie that I rarely do!! I have yet to watch “Little Women” fully!!!

such talented and well spoken women, their work is delightful

i cant even put into words my love for this movie

This movie definitely stumbled into beauty

I could hear them talking forever

I was definitely a joyous gift💜

Bus cut the connection. I am happy.

Some great messages on the film but negated at the end when she reverts to using her name Christine again.

Love both her first movie lady bird 2017 😍🤩❤❤ and little women 2019 of Greta Gerwig 🤩😍❤🌎🎭🌟♥️ She is so good amazing actress and rolemodel and director ❤❤❤❤❤

Greta is so pretty

oh it was a gift alright!

If Moonlight didn't win last year, Lady Bird would win this year. But given that La La Land lost, The Shape of Water will likely win this year.

Feminist poems ❤️ ,, love her innocence ,, 😘

I want a Joi from Blade Runner, but have her look like Greta and sound like Saoirse.

peeeepul.

Lady Bird a straight 7/10. Why is this movie rated 99 on Rotten? It's just so boring and monotonous filled with teen angst, superbly overrated. I mean the likes of Godfather is 98, Shawshank is 90, Raging Bull is 94 and Apocalypse Now is 98. Is this a joke or what.

I don't like that irish lady..
