Lady Bird

Hosted by Joe Morgenstern Nov. 03, 2017 Entertainment

Greta Gerwig is one of the pre-eminent actors of our time, and fine actors often make good directors. And she's no stranger to the art of the screenplay.

Once you've seen Greta Gerwig's Lady Bird — even while you're watching it, with a grin stuck on your face — you want to give thanks for how wonderful it is, how wise and funny and full of grace.
