This film has been critically acclaimed and loved from the moment it was released in theaters. Featuring an all-star cast with standout performances from Laurie Metcalf and Saoirse Ronan, Greta Gerwig wrote and directed a film that showcases coming of age, finding yourself, and feeling something towards the place you have always lived. Sharp dialogue and humor pepper this emotional film as it asks the viewer to relate to these women as they navigate a new part of their lives, regardless of how flawed their approach may be.
