The protagonist is named Christine McPherson, but she’d rather you call her Lady Bird. She’s played by Saoirse Ronan, she lives in Sacramento and the whole movie is set in 2002. It’s almost like a period piece from the Bush years. You can bet anyone with a cell phone is rocking a flip phone. Greta talks with Jesse about growing up in Sacramento and the importance of writing the phrase “hella tight” in the script of a major motion picture.
