this movie hits so different to girlies with rough mother-daughter relationships. the “i just wish that you liked me” “of course i love you” “but do you like me?” always makes me wanna sob lmao

[@maxwellgrimsley]

Same. It broke me and continues to 😭

[@chelsealynne07]

this movie gives perfect visual representation of the relationship between me and my mom

[@samanthasookchan418]

i showed it to my mom & she just scoffed & laughed & agreed with the mom in ladybird the whole time. when the film ended she silently left the room without a word, then my father had to tell me “i got the message, don’t worry” after she exited lol

[@larissa1770]

Especially the store scene when they’re shopping for a dress… the exact thing my mom and I do 😭 it’s exhausting

[@tardisland]

@@samanthasookchan418I showed it to my mum as well and she HATED it. Hit too close to home and she felt personally offended that that’s how I saw our relationship even though I found it endearing. We had a big fight afterwards and she didn’t talk to me the rest of the night. She was never good at taking any type of criticism about her parenting. 😂

[@Stormed95]

I told my mom this once and she was sooo offended and confused 😅

[@jazmoons]

exactly! one of the reasons why it's one of my favorite films

[@isabelluh6450]

the scene where they are bickering & shopping and then all of a sudden find a cute dress they both love and they both forget about being annoyed by each other for a moment is so mother-daughter and also sister-sister coded

[@patiencekillz]

can confirm this is an incredibly accurate depiction of most mother-daughter relationships

[@ambriaashley3383]

Oo I wouldn’t say most, there’s definitely a lot of healthy secure mother-daughter relationships out there, but certainly represents a lot

[@14Juicyhearts]

@@ambriaashley3383 Agree -- I have a really good relationship with my mom most of the time, but when we fight we can FIGHT - this is the only movie I've seen that shows how heartbreaking it can be but also how you can be kind of back to "normal" in 5 mins.

[@Honey70708]

@@14Juicyheartsseems like it’s actually passive aggressive if it’s like this…

[@shelbell5935]

Idk I watched w a group of my girlfriends and we all found the story compelling but the relationship not really accurate to our own w our respective mothers. But I can see how real that relationship is

[@14Juicyhearts]

@@Honey70708 no, not really. It’s possible to be so close to someone that you hurt each other accidentally and feel able to express anger sincerely but overall understand it’s not a huge deal and be able to make up. Also, I said my relationship with my mom is good most of the time, which is different from the relationship in the movie which is bad most of the time.

[@vintagevelvet]

When the guys said “that’s weird” at the scene in the second hand shop and I am 100% certain I’ve had those exact moments with my mum lol. Thank you for not being dismissive but realising that you can’t really speak on that experience

[@m444rsh]

bryce's ability to be so sharp in catching small details and the core message of a film even at first watch blows me away. i love how open and understanding you guys are to different experiences/perspectives that movies offer !

[@wichols93]

Being someone who’s from Sacramento and has since moved away, the driving shots at the end always make me cry. I cross that bridge to visit my grandma, I grew up getting burgers with my dad at Cookies, etc. I feel like she visualized my whole childhood in 90 seconds.

[@SubKween]

I'm so glad she was accepting of what Danny was going through. She could have focused on the fact that he cheated and hurt her and that would have been valid. But she instead focused on his struggle with his sexuality and the weight of not only being scared to tell his family but scared to be his true self. 👏🏼 21:09

[@cassiaferreira3205]

This is really one of those films where it takes having a specific experience (in this case, a complicated mother-daughter relationship) to fully be able to appreciate it but I'm glad you guys enjoyed it.

[@lilly50821]

i LOVE this movie. it’s such a good depiction of the way a lot of mothers and daughters end up 💔

[@mysterie3575]

“You skipped right over 3003.” 😂

[@neonoires]

I love this movie so much. It was so relatable to me in almost every way. I went to Catholic school, and I wanted to leave my hometown for New York, I was very theatrical, and like most teenage girls I fought hard with my mom but grew up and discovered we have a very similar personality. I'm a sucker for mother/daughter relationships because my mom and I are very close. Timothée Chalamet was on the come-up this year. He had Call Me By Your Name and Lady Bird, I saw CMBYN at Sundance so I knew him from there first and then saw him play a total asshole here lmao.

I watched this with my mom, and we had a very similar relationship and I think she was completely oblivious to the fact that she was basically the mom in this lol. Long story short, we haven't spoken in several years now.

[@jazmoons]

their mother and daughter relationship is very accurate

[@anghs.t]

was literally craving for this one ngl guys

[@jennabreland5261]

Her relationship with Sacramento is symbolic of her relationship with her mother

[@aidadenisa8553]

This is exaclty my experience of my relationship with my mom as well. She's the person that will always remind me how I'm not doing enough and will act like im the biggest dissapointment in her life. But is also the most comforting figure whenever life gets to me. I feel like a lot of girls relate to this

[@gokceorhan7696]

very accurate mom and daughter relationship even though if you haven’t seen mom like this or can’t relate; which is GOOD ahaha!

[@cara9680]

i cannot believe you guys watched this one, i'm thrilled!!! this is the most accurate depiction of a mother-daughter relationship i've ever seen in film -- the way a nice moment can turn into a battle before you even understand what went wrong was so realistic and so gut wrenching to watch. this movie just feels like someone reached inside your chest and pulled out all the lingering turmoil from when you were seventeen and felt like no one on earth understood you, and then put it to screen; greta gerwig is a singular talent in that regard. thank you for watching this so thoughtfully, even for the moments you couldn’t 100% relate to! great vid as always!!

[@jMichaels878]

Just discovered your channel and have binge-watching everything!! Idk if you take recommendations but you all should watch The King with Timothee Chalamet too. It's amazing and and way underrated and surprisingly I haven't really been able to find anyone else reacting to it!

[@rosabmariana]

The actress who played Lady Bird's friend is actually Jonah Hill's sister

[@lolilie]

The way I dropped everything when this appeared in my feed! This is one of my absolute favorite movies ever. Yes, ever. As someone who grew up less than two hours from Sacramento, and had a not too dissimilar relationship with my mother (I think we had that "dragging the feet" conversation verbatim), who came of age around that same time frame - when I saw Lady Bird for the first time I felt like I was watching MY story being told. I don't think everyone will connect with this movie, but I sure did. I'm so happy it exists!

[@candacebrown6864]

I was so fortunate to be a senior in high school when this came out! Me and my mom’s relationship was the exact too! I felt like the black sheep so this movie has a special place in my heart!

[@evie1919]

That actor jake mcdorman from shameless (the teacher from the beginning of the movie) also starred in this HILARIOUS and really amazing show I think y'all would really love, called 'Limitless'. My long-winded explanation of it: it's based on a movie with the same name. Mcdorman plays this slacker/stoner guy who starts taking a pill that makes him just impossibly smart & observant, but it has deadly side effects (UNLESS...). He uses it for about 50% good-of-humanity stuff- aka he reluctantly teams up w some equally-reluctant detectives who need his stupid smart brain to stop ppl from abusing/enhancing the drug- and 50% mischief and loveable stupid chaos. the main actress is from 'Dexter', too. it's like watching the funny/clever parts of Good Will Hunting, but amped up to 100 and more of a crime-fighting mystery than a crime-atonement coming-of-age story.

[@adoredfemme]

haven't watched ladybird in full again since high school because the mother daughter relationship was so spot on and hit very very close to home. Wanna give a hug to all the girlies with similar comments saying how they relate to the film on that level as well. hope everyone has a support system around them

[@hoshihoshiko137]

ladybird is sooo soo good and relatable

[@erikaleighhh]

32:40 defending that super short sex scene by saying it was a couple seconds vs one second is a little suss but still love ya bud 🤣

[@angelagraves865]

I'm not sure I ever truly experienced what being triggered means until I watched Lady Bird. My mom was Laurie Metcalf in this movie and I can't tell you how many times I wanted to do something like bail out of a moving car.

[@coreym0]

For me I think the mom was just sad that Lady Bird kept talking about how she wanted more, but was never really thankful for how hard her mom and dad were working to give her what she had.

[@MegaDz2]

LOL Bryce... "Beach necklace"... aka Puka Shell Necklaces and they were all the rage in 80s and 90s. They were even around in the 70s.😅

I remember watching it in the theatre and it was a truly a fun adventure. Saoirse Ronan is brilliant 👏🏽

[@md-mf3ld]

mom and daughter relationships are so complex

[@Itzezyyyy]

Yea a mother daughter relationship can be complicated and it does switch from screaming to being agreeable sometimes which is why it’s like a switch. Could just be a thing with non communicative families

[@Itzezyyyy]

I forget edge of seventeen is also a coming of age, complicated mother daughter relationship as well lol, been a minute since I’ve seen it tbh but I used to watch it all the time as a comfort movie. Just like perks

[@LimeRickey71]

43:46 mother daughter communications are often conflicted, confusing, competitive, expectant and affectionate all at once

[@m444rsh]

I JUMPED WHEN I SAW THIS my favorite reaction channel finally reacting to my favorite movie ever im actually so happy rn i always get sad why not many ppl reacted to lady bird it's such a gem but i knew the reel-time boys got meee

[@melissaisloud7404]

I graduated in 2002, and I am so glad this was not my experience with my mother in the least. I would be appalled if any of my friends had spoken to their parents like that, either. It’s a good film, but I don’t find the relationships genuine to my experience as a teenager in 2002.

[@nitsugazemag]

Lady Bird received 5 Academy Award nominations including best actress and supporting (Saorise Ronan and Laurie Metcalf), as well as best original screenplay and director for Greta Gerwig, including best picture. I think you have to have a sister or have observed that relationship with your mother and sister(s) to see how authentic this is played out. Not to say that this is a one-size-fits-all type of relationship, but it one that I've recognized with my sisters and mother growing up that was similar. I think the mother gets a lot of flack, but what I don't seem to hear is that she has the pressure of being the breadwinner and doing the heavy-lifting working hard as a nurse and supporting her family while having a rebellious daughter. Also, there aren't as much female coming-of-age stories told and directed by women. In the past, not many female led movies were written by women and directed by them too. There still is a big gender disparity in Hollywood and even across the board in film. Thankfully, things are pushing for more female told/directed films, but still a ways to go. Perhaps, this specific relationship dynamic in this film seems foreign to you because a woman wrote, drawing from her experiences, considering this is a much acclaimed and nominated film. Almost 20 years before, there was also a film called Real Women Have Curves with similar themes and dynamics, but from a Latina perspective starring America Farrera in her breakout role that got her attention that lead to a more commercial series, Ugly Betty, an adapted telenovela that's spans across Latin-America. Just something to think about.

[@nativenewyorker3144]

as a former theatre kid, this was an accurate portrayal of high school theatre productions.

I'm glad you guys watched this! It's great😊

[@laissuzuki708]

The way Rob just dropped Shameless and Manchester by the sea out of Lady Bird is just amazing!!

[@jimjimcherie]

Surprisingly, this is actually my relationship with my dad. A lot of wanting more, a lot of anger and fights. My dad has actually blamed for things I had no control over (I was a child) and he’s actually told me he hates me, I’ll never forget that, and I’m sure he loves me, but I don’t think he likes me very much. It’s funny, because the second the Danny talks shit about her mom, she defends her, I’m the same with my dad lol. I love Saoirse Ronan and this film.

[@Itzezyyyy]

Bruh I’m cracking up at their makeout scene and her repeatedly saying she hasn’t had sex yet while Timothee surrenders like they need to be in more comedies cause this is fucking hilarious

[@keiserdiaz731]

The way I loveeee this movie, and I can say that as a male, this movie feels so close to home, it's so accurate about their relationship, Maybe i got to experience it just because I'm gay, but yeah, guys can (sadly) have a bad relationship with their mothers too (obvious). Love your videos ❤️

[@bura19]

I can't say if this accurately depicts most mother-daughter relationships because my mom and I were always close, minus the rare teenage fight here and there, but this story is still soo compelling to me. It's a fairly simple story, but manages to keep my attention throughout. Timothy played a monotonous a**hole well. Saoirse and Laurie were great, as per usual.

Also what’s great with coming of age is the exploration of generational trauma and how it can affect how parents raise their kids, while trying not to become their own parents and instead striving to be better. In her mom’s case tho she’s taking baby steps, esp now that her daughter’s far away

Neither my relationship with my mom nor my relationship with my daughter (or son) are like this one. My mom actually WAS abusive and neglecting, Ladybird's is not. She loves her daughter and doesn't show it in the right way but it's not abuse. Because of my poor relationship with my mother I have tried to be the opposite with my own children. I push them to be their best selves but am respectful when our opinions differ.
