Another teen angst coming-of-age film
I was rather disappointed with this film, mostly because it definitely didn't live up to the hype.

There has been a spate of films that capture and showcase a city, and then casually layer it with a superficial story. In this case, it was Sacramento, California.

Here we see nothing particular new - a young teenager, played by the wonderful Saoirse Ronan, who insists on being called Lady Bird, hates her parents and wants to leave the nest desperately. Again nothing to see here. Beautifully shot, but shrug-worthy.

"I found this book interesting, uncomfortably informative, addictive and necessary. “Looking for Palestine” is a memoir/coming-of-age by the young Najla Said, an actress, writer and daughter of the brilliant Edward Said (a Columbia professor and prominent advocate of Palestine independence), and Mariam Said (artist, writer and activist). I’ve seen Najla’s play of the same name, but her book took me even further into this young New Yorker’s quest to make some sense of all of her worlds. If your goal is to be immersed and moved, this is it."
