Using real Navy SEALS, this low budget 2012 film took in twice its production costs on opening weekend alone. Probably because it has the courage to identify America’s real enemies, not Hollywood’s “reel” ones.
This disaster film works so well because it avoids the usual pitfalls of that genre -- namely hysterical fear mongering, sentimental claptrap, and political gamesmanship.
Forget Disney's Snow White waving her handkerchief as Dopey, Grumpy and the rest of those assorted dwarfs scoot out the cottage door to strains of "Off to Work We Go." This summer reboot of the fairy tale classic is imbued with the same sense of dark urgency as Christian Bale's Batman Begins. And both reboots blow away their saccharine or campy predecessors.
Scarlett Johansson utters the film's critical death knell when her character says, “I’m cursed with an utterly functional family.” Not surprising that most critics could barely mete out two stars. I say it's unexpectedly fresh and definitely worth watching.
I would have liked it a lot better if it weren’t for the excessive praise. Lady Bird is a decent enough coming of age film in its own way. Its characters seem real but not particularly likeable, and their struggles typical, but certainly not inspiring.
