Greta GerwigsLady Birdis slowly becoming the breakout, must-see movie of the fall.
So, Mom, what were your initial impressions of Marion?
No, no, you didnt.

She was too stressed to enjoy all the good stuff because financial problems and working become her main focus.
Did you see any of those as well?
I remember being very busy with all your activities, and hopefully supportive of them.
You wanted to do everything dance, cheerleading, gymnastics, singing lessons.
So, yeah, in that way you were a bit like Lady Bird.
But overall, I had a lot of fun watching you grow up.
And unlike the mom in the movie, I was proud of you.
Well, I do think Marion was proud of Lady Bird, but maybe couldnt express it well?
Or was intimidated by her daughter wanting more than she could provide for her?
Im sure that it was related to the fact that she applied behind her back.
I was so disappointed when she didnt go to the airport to see her off to New York.
It was an emotional moment for me as well, but I didnt want you to know it.
Lady Birdis in theaters now.
