It's a very feel-good movie, a movie that makes you want to tape stickers and pages out of a magazine on your wall. the portrayal of the character was incredible, i loved saoirse ronan in this movie and she really fits the character of "ladybird" (christine). the ending was very satisfying, and it truly made me proud to hear her talk to her mom calling herself "christine" after their argument. it truly made me proud to watch her move to nyc and live her life. she followed her same dreams, she just followed a different path. her story is very relatable, the breakups the friends, the fake friends, and all. this movie just makes you fall more in love with ladybird, and god, i'd kill to be her friend.
