Lady Bird

I thought this movie sucked for so many reasons, but let's focus on its boring and formulaic (and, frankly, offensive) treatment of the heavy girl. OF COURSE she's the sidekick. OF COURSE she's obsessed with food and weight. OF COURSE she can't be any sort of romantic interest except for the creepy teacher who nonetheless brushes her off.

I've been heavier and I've been thinner. I'm on that latter end now, but I'll still never be a small girl. And Greta Gerwig ... fuck you.
