Lady Bird (15) at Ely Cinema tickets available on the door from 7pm
Christine ‘Lady Bird’ McPherson embarks on the bittersweet transition from insecure high-school teen to self-assured woman. Desperate to escape sleepy Sacramento, she rebels against but is exactly like her critical mother : wildly loving, strong-willed and deeply opinionated.
Gracefully sidestepping cliché, first-time director Greta Gerwig’s rendition of the familiar coming-of-age narrative is frank, funny and utterly charming.
