reading that this movie is only 90 minutes makes it the awards contender i'm most excited for.

like example, "Gravity" also only half and hour long, and has  7 Oscars in the pocket)

[Incarnadine]

So Lady Bird is now at a perfect 150/0 on RT. Does anyone know the record for most positive reviews in a row right from the start?

The only ones I'm sure of are Get Out at 139 (up until Armond "reviewed" it) and Toy Story 2 which is 163/0.

 

Huh, I guess LB is so good it's even Armond proof, I just noticed he already reviewed it on Nov. 3 so it should be clear sailing for LB on RT

Toy Story 2 is the current record holder, and Lady Bird is only 13 reviews away from matching that figure.

Think this be my favorite of the year

Man, I really really loved this one. Top four of the year so far for me. Felt very true. Terrific performances, too.

Saw it. Loved it...and not just because I was born and raised in Sacramento, moved away, and moved back.

Lots of shouts out by Gerwig with small jokes only people familiar with Sacramento would get.

Gerwig  admitted the jokes about Sac City College were partly to kid her friend Jessica Chastaine, who is another native Sacramentan who went to City College for two years  before getting her scholarship to Julliard.

The bit with the football coach pressed into service as a drama teacher was pretty damn funny.

And God, I drive over the Bridge that Christine drives over in the final montage about four our five times a week. I recognized almost every locatation in the film.

Didn't Boyhood get close to 200 reviews without a negative?

This is a rare movie where I would be more than welcoming of the prospect of a sequel if Gerwig decided to make one. Would love to spend another couple of hours with Lady Bird and the people in her life to see what they're up to.

Oddly, both this and Three Billboards are movies that could have excellent sequels (yet they likely won't get them).

Boyhood got its first rotten at 110. I know for a fact though that it has 100 on Metacritic though.

Reviews are coming in slower now, but LB is now at 158/0 at RT, just 5 short of Toy Story 2's 163/0 for the all time record of consecutive positive reviews out of the gate.

 

With Armond White already out of the way the record seems inevitable now.

[Gumby]

Is the dialogue natural sounding in this or is every other line some clever and witty retort like in Edge of Seventeen?  Loved Saoirse Ronan in Brooklyn (loved the film, too), but this looks like a movie made for critics and people on the coasts.  And any political sucker punches in it?

 

Business was pretty slow for this at my theater today.  Surprised we got both Lady Bird and Three Billboards.  Nice variety of choices for moviegoers.

You do you, as always.

It's so simple, but I really like this poster. Also, LB is up to 160/0 now.

 

[The Panda]

Watch, its one rotten will be the 163rd review.

Nope, the record tying 163rd review just came up putting LB at 163/0 equaling Toy Story 2.

Just 1 more to go for a new record...

[Ithil]

If it gets to 164-0, surpassing Toy Story 2's record, kindly imagine Saoirse Ronan's lovely face on Brock Lesnar's gargantuan body and Woody's cowboy hat on Undertaker:

 

[The Panda]

But can Lady Bird beat Toy Story 2's review record adjusted to inflation

The future belongs to Saoirse Ronan

She has the record in her sights...

 

[Jayhawk the Hutt]

This was very good. It's exactly the movie that I thought it would be. No real surprises, but it is touching and very funny.

[KeepItU25071906]

It's gonna be BIGGER SUCCESS ever for A24. (Yeah, I know, A24 has "Disaster Artist", but it's New Line production, so...)

 

 

I miss for some similar "Juno" BO run.
