After rave reviews from Telluride over the weekend, the trailer has now been released for Greta Gerwig’s solo directorial debut Lady Bird.
Saoirse Ronan plays Christine McPherson, a high-school senior from Sacramento who is ambitious, bright, and precocious with dreams of breaking free of suburbia and a life of east coast skyscrapers, Ivy League universities, and cosmopolitan culture.
With modest grades and no alumni connections, she joins the drama club leads and meets new friends, first loves, and gets a social life that is in full swing – all the while aware of the roughness of life for those around her.
Tracy Letts, Laurie Metcalf, Timothee Chalamet and Lucas Hedges co-star in the film which opens November 10th.
