I thought this was great. Beforehand it felt like this could've been every indie movie made in the past ten years, but somewhere Greta Gerwig captured an honest essence about growing up and nothing about it felt fake or forced. She's got a great sense of humor too (I was dying at the football coach taking over the theater class) and I liked how she valued each character in their own right. She could've mocked a bunch of the characters easily but instead treated and respected them for being humans who all deal with their own shyt. Although the movie is named after the titular character, it never tries to make her issues and struggles seem bigger than everyone else's. I think that's the hidden strength of this movie compared to all the other teenage dramas that try to make it seem like some girl growing up is the single most important thing in the whole fukking universe.
