In her first lead role since her Oscar-nominated turn in the 2015 drama Brooklyn, Saoirse Ronan plays a Catholic high school student looking to escape her suburban California life and go to college in a different part of the country in Lady Bird, the directorial debut of actress-turned-filmmaker Greta Gerwig.

The film looks like a terrific, seriocomic vehicle for Ronan, and also features an exemplary supporting cast that includes Laurie Metcalf, Tracy Letts, Lucas Hedges, Timothee Chalamet, and Stephen Henderson.

Lady Bird flies its way into theaters on Friday, Nov. 10.
