Can we at least agree Three Billboards is better?

Fuck you elitist LA screeners people getting all the good movies a solid month before they hit theaters.

Halfway through I'm Still Here. The premise is becoming a bit stale, but good lord this is fascinating as fuck

Olaf's Great Adventure is definitely in the running for worst picture of the year.

I'm not in love with Lady Bird but length was not the problem to me at all.

I gotta be honest, I think I just don't generally enjoy coming of age films, at least the ones being offered. I liked it, but while some of this stuff hit home, as an Asian American, there are still a lot of things I don't relate to.  I've seen these elements before, just not quite as honestly done as Lady Bird. It's a quaint, enjoyable little film that gives me little to really complain about. But there's also nothing there that really wows me outside of the performances from Metcalf and Ronan.

Lady Bird is totally fine. It's just exactly what I expected. Really well done, but no real surprises.

It's like...this movie could be better if FARRIER appeared and shot down Lucas Hedges.

FWIW since this is being brought up fairly often, I'm firmly in the Edge of Seventeen>Lady Bird camp. I don't think they're the best movies to compare largely because one is primarily a comedy while the other leans more dramatic and they both set out to do different things, but the main characters can definitely be compared. Nadine is more complex than Christine IMO.

Lady Bird >>>> Edge of Seventeen

 

And I loved Edge of Seventeen so that should really tell you something

She is certainly more problematic and broken than Lady Bird.

 

But Lady Bird is better realized and more three dimensional than Nadine. Nadine feels needlessly frustrating just because half the time, which btw, I'll never believe Hailee Steinfeld playing an unattractive dweeb who has to settle for Asian guy.
