Tonight are the 90th Academy Awards, being honest I don't know a lot of how's the world of cinema managed, but I do my homework and pay attention to details and nominated movies. In other lifetime I'd love to be involved in this film making world, by now I just sit on the couch, watch movies and talk about it later.

This time, one of my big favorites of the Oscars 2018 nominees is Lady Bird. A 93 minutes film, about Christine McPherson (Saoirse Ronan), a young uncontrollably loving, deeply obstinate and opinionated, who faces her final year in high school. As much as he struggles against it, it's exactly like his mother (Laurie Metcalf), a nurse who works tirelessly to keep the family afloat after the father (Tracy Letts) has lost his job.

Lady Bird’s desire is to get a place in the university, in a cosmopolitan environment, in order to start a new life away from the suburbs, but in the meantime she will have to learn to relate to his mother. The young student will also have to survive her academic and emotional misadventures with her classmates, and that is because her emotions are on the surface.

Set in 2002 in Sacramento, California, in the middle of an economic panorama marked by vertiginous changes, Lady Bird is a moving vision of the relationships that shape us, the beliefs that define us and the unparalleled beauty of a place called home. This film explores in depth both the comic and the pathological aspects of the turbulent bond between a mother and her teenage daughter.

It has to be mentioned, the fact that Lady Bird being ashamed of her house and she not wanting to her friend where she lives. Also the fact that she works in some sort of bar while studying, because her parents don’t have enough money to pay for college, or that she has to buy her dress for graduation in a thrift store and in spite of that (or precisely because of that) she looks gorgeous!

Identifying with Christine, with Lady Bird is easy: we have all been teenagers. We have all hated our parents for some ridiculous reason. We have all talked with our friends about whether it was better to get laid at a very young age, and we have all felt the impotence of losing our first love. And after all those tricky feelings, one day she stops being ashamed of her and where she comes from, to start loving herself.

But maybe only a few, will know that, although it is not the central theme of the film and although no criticism says it, Lady Bird is one of us.
