I agree!!

[@cestaimee]

Paused to say YES Q&A! Back to the video...

[@frypxn8060]

i highly highly recommend Sorry To Bother You, hilarious movie with a huge plot twist

[@patmargheim9850]

Please watch beautiful boy

[@MiloCantTalk]

It's so weird watching a movie where all the female characters feel actually real, they're so well written

[@DerMoerpler]

@@izzonj If you liked this one, I can highly recommend Eigth Grade. The teenagers are actually played by kids their age and it feels incredibly realistic. One of the most underappreciated movies of the last few years if you ask me.

[@vvi95a]

@@DerMoerplerdef looking into this next

[@VAVORiAL]

Since everyone has already said how good Gerwig is, let's not forget Saoirse Ronan. Easily one of the best younger actresses out there.

[@paulelroy6650]

Shes been killing it since 2007

[@clash5j]

I actually just saw Hanna yesterday, so I think I've seen all her film work. Yes, she's terrific!!!

[@jimhsfbay]

Her and Anya Taylor-Joy (Queen’s Gambit on Netflix) are my two favorite young actresses. Leading contenders for the ‘next Meryl Streep!’

[@HoopleHeadUSA]

Going to be one of the all time greats later IMO. Really enjoying watching her career go up and up and up!

[@t0dd000]

Everyone is great in this, but I want to call out Beanie Feldstein. So good in Booksmart as well.

[@janpuhar9614]

This movie lives inside my heart. Comfortable, naturalistic, poetic, emotional.

[@JamesVSCinema]

Agreed I really loved it!

[@Bekka_Noyb]

saw this movie 1st with my bestie. then again with my mom. we all ♥ it

[@thechad4485]

Lady Bird and Perks of Being A Walflower are two of my favorite high school movies.

[@JamesVSCinema]

Haven seen Perks of Bring a Wallflower!

[@KrispyAlex]

@@JamesVSCinema watch it! You will enjoy it

[@JasmineTeaEnjoyer]

One of my favorite movies of all time, Greta Gerwig has already shown with Lady Bird and Little Women she’s one of the top directors in Hollywood right now. Both are magnificent, I HIGHLY recommend Little Women if you haven’t seen it.

[@JamesVSCinema]

Little Women is on the Patreon Polls if you’d like to vote!

[@WillWatches]

The speech about driving around Sacramento, it makes me nostalgic for a place I’ve never even been. It also really resonates with me cos I watched it at the same time I was moving into university

[@JamesVSCinema]

Gotta clap it up for the writing at that part.

[@tylerkoch601]

Ronan and Gerwig is such a perfect combination! The color of this movie is fantastic as well (much like you said)

[@JamesVSCinema]

Loved the dynamic Ronan showed!!

[@Allonsy305]

The ending reminded me of the homesickness I felt after moving for college.

[@JamesVSCinema]

Exactly that!!

[@HoopleHeadUSA]

I dismissed the “Dune guy” Chalamet as another teen heartthrob when I first saw him in the media long back. He kept popping up in great roles though, and heard great feedback on his performances. Started watching more and saw him in quite a few interviews, and he’s actually incredibly mature, thoughtful, humble, good head on his shoulders I feel. Really gained a lot of respect in my eyes as both a human and actor. Definitely watching his career, and looking forward to seeing him in Dune!

[@jdrummerdd]

it'll be nice when he escapes the young actor stigma, similar to how DiCaprio made that jump. not that he isn't already great, thats just something people can use against him when trying to not take him seriously. such a bright future!!

[@lemontea417]

he's incredibly intellectual, his performance in Beautiful Boy, The King, Call Me By Your Name.... are just so mature and emotionally raw, he has explored so many different roles and genres, heard he's going to be in a comedy and a horror movie soon too Timothee is definitely going to be in the industry for a long time, can't wait for Dune as well!

[@dumahim]

Edge of Seventeen is another great coming of age movie that doesn't get much attention and is pretty funny too. Euphoria is a show I'd like to see you react to. Good show, but also great cinematography. It feels like it often gets overlooked in TV shows.

[@KrispyAlex]

YES! I love the edge of seventeen

[@aiden4886]

euphoria definitely does not get overlooked. the acting and cinematography are literally phenomenal

[@geddyleesquire]

One of the best movies of the last decade. Man... 2017 was such a great year for movies. Greta Gerwig is such an amazing director and actor. Also she's my biggest crush lol.

[@JamesVSCinema]

Hahaha there were several girls similar to her in my highschool actually

[@joshuafletcher4501]

Gerwig is a total crush for me too.. love her in Frances Ha and Greenberg!

[@camizimmerman]

This and Booksmart are two of my favorite movies... so good!

[@brittyn]

I was pleasantly surprised by Booksmart! It was so much better than the trailer!!

[@claravaradi-true2133]

And both have Beanie Feldstein!!

[@Echo7521]

I've grown up in and lived my whole life in Sacramento. This movie speaks a lot to me about coming to age in this town. This movie really hit a feeling I didn't understand. A lot of those shots at the end of the movie when she is driving through Sacramento were just gorgeous, but they were also just my daily commute to college. The overlook on the bridge is off of Business I-80 overlooking the American River. The place where the road forks is J and H street. You take the left to J street and the next light is where you turn into Sac State. I'd use J to get back to the freeway to get home and that's when I would pass the Fab 40's (Where the Lady Bird house is) and the Raven Club is on your left heading back to I-80. A lot of people say this makes them nostalgic for a town they've never been to, but for someone who lived here, the shots really gave me a new appreciation for what had just been the background scenery to my life. Needless to say, people in Sacramento couldn't shut up about this movie for years.

[@bloodygoodjune9292]

As a mother with a sometimes contentious relationship with my daughter since her teens (she is 26 now), this film really hit me in the feels. As soon as I watched it, I called her and told her how much it affected me and asked her to please watch it. She didn't get to see it til almost two years later when it came available to Prime. She messaged me to say she had finally watched it and said it was "meh, okay". My heart was shattered. Now watching you talk about it makes me realize she is currently inbetween the two storytellers; she isn't that young adolescent anymore so she doesn't relate to Ladybird's view, and although she does has two toddlers (one being a girl), she hasn't *went through* motherhood yet so she doesn't really see the mom's perspective either. Still, this movie was so emotional for me and it crushed me she just didn't get why.

[@Alyzvettema]

As a mother of two (boys but still a mom non the less) and not being very old myself but in my mid 30s this movie destroyed me from both sides. I remember being like that with my mother and feeling i was right and i feel that over bearing love with my kids sometimes and not knowing how to express it to them. I think if you actually have fully gone through both sides of this story its just gut wrenching sobby time

[@kathyrose8750]

Knowing Timothee Chalamet as Dune guy is a crime - you have to now have to watch Call Me By Your Name - that’s a lead performance that’ll really stick with you.

[@Pipe_munoz04]

You should check out Linklater's Before trilogy. Some of the most beautiful films I've ever seen and one of the best trilogies of all time imo

[@UncleAlex916]

I love this movie. I am born and raised in Sacramento and this movie showed the beauty of my town and I hope y’all enjoyed it.

[@PatBrownfield-TheRainmaker]

I went to school with Greta and lived in Sacramento most of my life. So great to see this on screen and see her success. Crazy that I know who some of these characters are based on and it literally hits home 👍☺️

[@nickflix8657]

One of my favorite movies I saw this past year! So glad you enjoyed it.

[@JamesVSCinema]

Most definitely man! Glad I was recommended it. Needed a film like this especially now

[@julilolmo19]

This is one of my feel good movies, but it is also a very good story told in the simples and yet amazing way possible

[@JamesVSCinema]

Agreed!

[@TarquinnMB]

LadyBird is one of those movies that is 10x more emotional to watch once you have moved out of your home for the first time.

[@SavlovesNiallHoran34]

The DUNE guy is a great actor, Timothee Chalamet, have you seen Call Me by Your Name?

[@JamesVSCinema]

I have not seen that!

[@SavlovesNiallHoran34]

@@JamesVSCinema You should react to it! It got him nominated for an Oscar when we was only 19 I believe. The movie is beautiful and so well acted all around.

[@emilie11291]

Omg YEES!!

[@jadacaddy2321]

This is my all time favorite movie! The bond between ladybird and her mother is so relatable for growing teen girls or just any teen wanting something more in their lives. So glad you reacted to it. It definitely deserves much more notoriety, I think

[@JamesVSCinema]

Absolutely relatable! Which is never truly easy to write. They did an excellent job!

[@thikakashi]

I felt just like you when i First watched lady bird. I felt i was drawn into her life and i loved this. Also the pace of the movie is really special. Things happen "fast" in the movie but it's not rushed at all, it's perfect for me.

[@katrinaceleste]

speaking of fantastic female directors - check out suzanne bier (she's danish but her english language films are also phenomenal, though obviously her native danish language projects are on another level). also sofia coppola hit jackpot with "lost in translation" and that ending will forever be one of my all time favourites (plus the movie stars bill murray and scarlett johansson, and she was only about 19 or 20 at the time of filming, if i'm not mistaken!)

[@Knowingspy]

I think Greta Gerwig said she worked with the cinematographer to make the film look like xeroxes of old photos. It's partly budgetary, but you made a great point about how the film looked.

[@JamesVSCinema]

That’s freakin awesome!!

[@youngbull16]

Having an older sister, I see first hand the interactions and conversations they have between each other. And I can say that this film perfectly captured that dynamic. One of my favorite coming-of-age films for sure.

[@Asterisk94]

One of my all time favorite movies. I really loved your analysis of this one. Particularly about the color grade and the way it made it feel like it was really capturing a moment. I never considered that aspect. Fantastic insight!

[@acidsupernova]

It's been said before, but the best stories are the ones that are so specific to a setting and its characters that it becomes universal. It seems counterintuitive but it really is true. Never write with the intention of trying to appeal to everybody. Write something true and unique and the audience will come to it.

[@TarquinnMB]

I feel like once I go off to college, I should rewatch this movie. It feels like it hit much harder that way.

[@anti0918]

Please check out Frances Ha on one of your "my pick" days! An earlier film written by Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach, and Gerwig is in the title role.

[@everausten]

I was going to say! Frances is such a similar character to Ladybird, only this is her in her late twenties still trying to figure it out. Like here also, I love the focus on friendship and finding yourself. Greta's acting is so endearing and appropriately frustrating at times when Frances is making poor decisions. Wonderful! ✨

[@Maddie-tu6ls]

Kyle always made me laugh in this movie lmao. He’s so unintentionally funny

[@JamesVSCinema]

Kyle’s great hahaha

[@heilmann18]

Have you seen Moonlight? I'd love to see your reaction, as I think is literally a perfect movie.

[@setadrft]

[@nial.6613]

I, too, would love a reaction to this film.

I’ve seen Moonlight! One of my favorite films

[@brittyn]

Amazing film. That final sequence was so intense (in a good way) I had to remind myself to breathe. That song in the jukebox!! 😭

[@davidn5269]

I loved this movie and I’m a Sacramento guy so it really hit home but Gerwig goes to a whole different level with Little Women. One of my five or so favorite movies of the last five years. Gerwig is gonna be around for a while, and I could see her dropping another ten classic movies before she’s done.

[@davidn5269]

Also, how good is Saoirse Ronan? Another incredible talent who’s only just getting started.

[@lmariej3858]

I took my mom to see LadyBird after I saw it in theatres and we cried together because we had a lot of the same discussion/fights about me moving out to college and NYC and my senior year in school. My bond with my mom is amazing but it reminded me of how tough my senior year was.

[@emilie11291]

If you liked Lady Bird, I would really recommend also watching Little Women, directed by the same person (Greta Gerwig) and also starring Saoirse Ronan as the lead and Timotheé Chalamet. :) It's also a very unique take on the coming of age story among sisters with very interesting characters! :D

[@Amazed_X]

So, being from Sacramento and watching this movie at the crest theater was a trip. I can definitely say, this is my hometown and current city and I love it man. Anyone who wants to take a trip to the 916 should. Theres a lot to see man

100% you nailed it brother!

[@emanzafar57]

yessss!!! i remember recommending you this two months ago

[@lewismaddox4132]

You brought up cliche. Using the term can be useful yet this film made me realize how lazy my use of the term has been at times. Despite this being a coming of age story there was nothing cliche about these characters, except for their love for each other. Interesting that the most cliche thing about the film was that Lady Bird, the character, was courageous when her compass was love and cowardly when she lost that compass. Mom was a great demonstration of the degree of anger being directly proportional to her love. Her only way of expressing that love was through non-stop criticism. The situations were cliche, the characters not at all. I have so many friends and family who put down films for this or that and are so busy pointing out the flaws they completely miss the ride. You are like me. I see so much of the good and how unbelievably creative these film makers and actors are. I really enjoy your reactions! Thanks for sharing.

[@josephblumenberg6574]

If you haven’t seen it yet...I’d totally recommend watching Honey Boy! It focuses on a father/son dynamic in a pretty unique way!

[@SavlovesNiallHoran34]

I love this film, it gives me such nostalgia. It also made me really evaluate my own relationship with my mom.

[@thetoothbrushfromnisemonog8340]

I live in Sacramento, so it was so cool when this movie came out.

[@bexc348]

I loved this film for so many reasons and I’m so glad you did too. There is a small thing that wasn’t mentioned here but it meant so much to me. Saoirse Ronan was dealing with acne whilst filming this and they didn’t cover it up. You could see it. As a young girl who’s struggled with that it was so refreshing seeing it on film, on the lead role who wasn’t the butt of a joke which is so rare to see in a coming of age film but so many people go through it!

[@erickrahn]

Great movie, I need to rewatch it. Can't say much as I'm at work but I had a good chuckle when the first boyfriend is having the heart to heart about how he's going to tell his parents, you being moved by the scene, then smash cut to a Borat 2 ad. Have you ever seen the French film "Martyrs"? Watched it last night. Still shook from it.

[@Atrydka]

Love your reaction! I really like both Greta's movies, so I hope "Little Women" (my favorite comfort movie already) will win the poll

[@emmamurphree5623]

my favorite movie omg

[@cloudpride]

this is one of my favorite film and i love your reaction！

[@dafty9159]

"He's Sasuke" bruh, that had me laughing so hard, it's so true tho It's kinda weird seeing a movie about this time period, I feel like there's not a lot of them based around this era, I mean, you could even say this is a period piece. I don't know if Lady Bird is autobiographical or not, but it's definitely a love letter to Sacramento since that's Greta Gerwig's home and you can really feel it in the movie. I love that point that you brought up about missing the little things that you start to notice when you leave your hometown, I've never live outside my city but I'm sure there's a lot of stuff that I'd miss once I leave. I love the mother/daughter dynamic in this, it's one that in my opinion, you don't get to see very often in movies like these or if they try to do it, they fail because they turn the mother in this big villain in the main character's story and it doesn't feel real. Meanwhile I see Lady Bird's mother in this and I can totally see her in some real people that I know. I think Greta Gerwig is a great writer and I think you should watch Frances Ha, she co-wrote it with Noah Baumbach, the director. She also stars in it and she's great. It's actually really similar to Lady Bird in some ways. Lucas Hedges (red hair guy) is also a great young actor, you should definitely check him out in Manchester by the Sea if you haven't, he kills it in that one. He was in Moonrise Kingdom too actually. And what can I say about Timothée Chalamet that hasn't been said already? That guy is pure talent, I don't think this role shows his range (even tho I like his character a lot and he's very funny) but he brings everything on the table in Call Me By Your Name, honestly one of my favorite performances ever, I really thought he was going to snatch the oscar that year.

[@muuuzaklistener]

guess i gotta rewatch ladybird now

[@mirandahaws2252]

i know you review requests on patreon and you obviously have a schedule for movies you watch for this series, BUT if you have not seen The Neon Demon yet, I think it would be a great film to react to. it is both visually stunning yet terrifyingly perverted.... its incredible.

I actually got to drive past the blue Lady Bird house in Sacramento a couple years ago. It's a solid coming of age drama although I found Call Me By Your Name to be the more sophisticated of the two from that year.

I highly recommend “Revolutionary Road.” One of my favorite films and performances by Leonardo DiCaprio. I strongly feel this is the film he should’ve gotten the Oscar for. It’s uncomfortable to watch and it really sits with you. I saw a prescreening when it first came out, with a friend. We were both kind of speechless at the end. We then talked about it the whole way home and we had very differing opinions on it. We both loved it but I mean we varied in how we perceived the characters, what motivates them, etc. it’s an interesting watch that I think you’d enjoy as a film maker.

[@wandersonoliveira263]

I love this movie, love how it feels, the dialogue and specially the dynamic between the protagonist and her mother. My only problem with it it's the subplot with Lady Bird and the "cool kids" and she abandoning her dearest friend. Like, I get that it happens, but I think the movie and the protagonist are more clever than to fall in this cliché. Aside from that, pretty amazing movie.

[@ReadingOne]

I have absolutely zero interest in this movie...I DO NOT like the main actress, and I only saw one movie she was in after the first time I saw her because I love the book it was based on...but am I watching this anyway? You bet I am! Always love hearing your views on a movie, especially since you bring a filmmaker's perspective to it, which is something I haven't seen in reaction videos before.
