95 mins - United States 2017 Director: Greta Gerwig Starring: Saoirse Ronan, Laurie Metcalf and Tracy LettsIn LADY BIRD, Greta Gerwig reveals herself to be a bold new cinematic voice with her solo directorial debut, excavating both the humour and pathos in the turbulent bond between a mother and her teenage daughter. Christine “Lady Bird” McPherson fights against but is exactly like her wildly loving, deeply opinionated and strong-willed mom, a nurse working tirelessly to keep her family afloat after Lady Bird's father loses his job. “Flawless Saoirse Ronan in a wholly wonderful film.” The Irish Times
GRETA GERWIG Beginning in ultra-low budget ‘mumblecore’ dramas before graduating to popular American indies (such as FRANCES HA) as an actor and now a prominent Hollywood filmmaker, Greta Gerwig is one of the most successful female directors of all time, winning both critical acclaim and strong box office with LADY BIRD, LITTLE WOMEN and BARBIE. Triskel Arts Centre presents these notable films in a season dedicated to this exciting and talented artist.
