I saw the version in the 1990s with Susan Sarandon as the mom and now it's Laura Dern. This version has received a lot of praise and unlike Ladybird by this writer/director (which I didn't really like) basically agree. It starts with them as adults and flips back and forth in the story, which mostly works. It seemed to start a bit slow but got into the story. Liked the actresses though Meryl Streep didn't really add much to her role. Florence Pugh as "Amy" (I saw her in Lady Macbeth, not Shakespeare) is notable here since she is a bit less known; her voice is distinctive. Males are mixed bag. Felt time appropriate but think another version might be able to really highlight that sort of thing. Also, maybe more for Beth to do.
