It’s available on Netflix: From the director of Dune Heroine Barbie, this movie exists!

Greta Gerwig, elected president of the 77th Cannes Film Festival, is one of the most fashionable directors of the moment.

Building on the global success of his movie Barbie, one of the biggest hits at the global box office with over $1.4 billion in revenue, the American filmmaker is currently working on his next big project: the new Chronicles of Narnia movie. Netflix.

While working on blockbusters and other big-budget feature films, Greta Gerwig became known for more independent films that allowed new talent to emerge or up-and-coming stars to prove their popularity. So is his first feature film, which just arrived in the Netflix catalog.

(Re)discover Greta Gerwig’s first film with Timothée Chalamet!

Technically, Greta Gerwig made her first film in collaboration with Joe Swanberg called Nights and Weekends, an independent American mumblecore feature film (a movement characterized by a very low budget, non-professional actors and partially improvised dialogue).

But for her first solo production, Greta Gerwig began to fully endorse young talent such as Saoirse Rosan (Lovely Bones, The Grand Budapest Hotel), Lucas Hedges (Manchester the Sea), Beanie Feldstein (Our Worst Neighbors 2, Booksmart) and Timothée Chalamet, who was Revelation Call me by your name at that time.

And that first solo film is Lady Bird, a delicious and refreshing comedy-drama that should appeal to those who loved Barbie. Lady Bird does indeed share themes in a feature film about a famous doll, such as the story of emancipation of a young woman trying to find her place in the world.

Lady Bird tells the story of Christine “Lady Bird,” a Sacramento Catholic high school student in the early 2000s who dreams of leaving the city to go to college, and her loving mother, who has a strong and relentless personality. Who should not look like Lady Bird.

In her last year of high school, Lady Bird will have her first professional, but especially personal, experiences with friends and her first boyfriends, including Kyle, played by Timothée Chalamet.

Greta Gerwig was professionally recognized for this film, which allowed her to film Dr. Marsh’s Four Daughters (also with Saoirse Ronan and Timothée Chalamet) and Barbie, and her actors also achieved more success.

Saoirse Ronan, on the other hand, won the Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Comedy. And Timothée Chalamet became the star we know today, the hero of Denis Villeneuve’s Dune trilogy and soon the role of Bob Dylan in James Mangold’s A Complete Unknown.

Movie Lady Bird Available on Netflix.
