# Lady Bird - Parental Guide
This R-rated coming-of-age drama contains strong language and sexual content as it follows a rebellious 17-year-old navigating her relationship with her mother. While emotionally mature teens may relate to the story, the film's mature themes and language make it inappropriate for younger children. Consider your child's maturity level and sensitivity to family conflict before viewing.
Synopsis
Lady Bird McPherson, a strong willed, deeply opinionated, artistic 17 year old comes of age in Sacramento. Her relationship with her mother and her upbringing are questioned and tested as she plans to head off to college.
