Saoirse Ronan soars as the coming-of-age lead in the trailer for Lady Bird

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

Everyone knows that teenagers can be a real handful. With that being said, if yours throws themselves out of a moving car, you might want to re-think your approach to how you go about navigating their adolescent musings. Granted, I don't have children of my own, though I have heard many a nightmarish tale from friends of mine who've been brave enough to embrace the throes of parenthood head-on.

In LADY BIRD, Saoirse Ronan (HANNA) stars alongside ROSANNE's Laurie Metcalf in a dramatic comedy about growing up, finding your way, and giving any and all authority figures a hard time as you stumble through the paces of budding-adulthood. Directed and written by Greta Gerwig, the filmmaker aims to tell the touching tale of Christine "Lady Bird" McPherson as she hopes to discover "the best version of herself." As Gerwig's first feature film, the project takes place in Sacramento, California cira 2002. Joining Ronan and Mecalf for LADY BIRD are Tracy Letts as Lady Bird's father, and Lucas Hedges and Timothee Chalamet as the romantic interests.

A24's LADY BIRD will fly into theaters on November 10th.
