Movie Review: Lady Bird

I ask myself three questions when writing a movie review:

1.  Did I like the movie?

2.  Was the movie well-made?

3.  Did I gain something from seeing the movie?

Generally, if I can answer “yes” to all three questions, then I give the movie my recommendation.  One or two affirmative responses means the movie is borderline.  Zero “yes” answers mean I probably hated the film, assuming I didn’t storm out before the movie ended.
