I thought this movie was great. Familiar territory, but fresh new way of spinning a coming of age story. Lots of depth to characters, funny wit, and contentious moments rolled into a 90 minute yarn.
Saorise Ronan and the mom will get nominations as will Greta Gerwig for screenplay. Ronan will be tough to beat this year, for sure but its early.
fwiw, theater was packed on a Tuesday night in LA - buzz is out on this one.
