FILM: LADYBIRD (MA15+) in our Armchair Cinema
In Lady Bird, Greta Gerwig reveals herself to be a bold new cinematic voice with her directorial debut, excavating both the humor and pathos in the turbulent bond between a mother and her teenage daughter. Christine "Lady Bird" McPherson (Saoirse Ronan) fights against but is exactly like her wildly loving, deeply opinionated and strong-willed mom (Laurie Metcalf), a nurse working tirelessly to keep her family afloat after Lady Bird's father (Tracy Letts) loses his job. Set in Sacramento, California in 2002, amidst a rapidly shifting American economic landscape, Lady Bird is an affecting look at the relationships that shape us, the beliefs that define us, and the unmatched beauty of a place called home.
P.S. We can also help out with finding your mum the ideal gift with our fresh range of pretty and purposeful goods. Gardener, cook, booklover, foodlover, homemaker, just your mum - there's likely something to suit. (Half of us at Nest are mums and we pretty much stock Nest with things we'd love for ourselves)
