She may only be 23 years old, but Saoirse Ronan has seemed pretty determined to cover as many characters as possible in her young career. After all, the acclaimed Irish actor has gained heaps of praise playing everything from a bloodthirsty vampire to a ruthless teenage assassin and will soon even be portraying tragic true-life royal Mary, Queen of Scots. Her latest film, however, is getting Ronan a staggering amount of attention simply for playing an average teen coming of age in California. “Sometimes with coming-of-age films it can be overly dramatized or focused on the romance of one particular relationship,” said Ronan during a call from London about her upcoming new dramedy, Lady Bird. “But with this, there’s so much attention to the whole world that she’s in (that) it doesn’t feel like it’s not real; it doesn’t feel like anything’s been hyped up.”One thing that has been “hyped up” about Lady Bird is the growing critical acclaim the film’s been receiving for its honest and endearing portrayal of the tempestuous relationship between an aimless student who insists on being called “Lady Bird” and her nagging, meticulous mother.
