Summary: (by wikipedia.org)
  "Christine "Lady Bird" McPherson is a 
  senior student at a Catholic high school 
  in Sacramento, California in the year 2002. 
  She longs to attend an Ivy League college 
  in "a city with culture". Her family is 
  struggling financially, and her mother tells 
  her Lady Bird is ungrateful for what she has...
  
  "After Lady Bird's graduation, her mother 
  discovers that she has applied to out-of-state 
  universities behind her back, and stops 
  talking to her..."

My Comments:

  Very well directed and acted. Surprisingly
  engaging, even with a bratty kid like Lady Bird
  ... perhaps because the characters have heart
  even if they are flawed.
