Lady Bird
Lady Bird is a critically acclaimed coming-of-age drama written and directed by Greta Gerwig, following a 17-year-old Sacramento girl through her turbulent senior year of high school, including a complicated relationship with her mother, first romance, and first sexual experiences. It carries an R rating for strong language, sexual content, brief graphic nudity, and teen partying, and its themes are squarely aimed at older teenagers and adults.
Best suited for mature teens aged 16 and up, or adults watching on their own.

Lady Bird throws herself out of a moving car mid-argument with her mother; the moment is abrupt and unexpected, though played with dark humor and no gore.
A recurring pattern of intense shouting arguments between Lady Bird and her mother begins; the first major blowup is emotionally raw and may be distressing for some viewers.
Lady Bird has sex with her boyfriend for the first time; the scene shows physical motion, both partly undressed, and he is depicted climaxing. Nothing is graphically explicit but the content is clearly adult.
