Her movies are boring and bland as fuck. That Little Women pales in comparison to the 90’s version.

She's young. A good director gets to start complaining about a lack of career respect when they hit fifty or sixty, and to get REALLY upset when they get to Scorsese's age.

Scorsese hasn't made a good film since The Departed

Little Women has been remade 6 times. Lady Bird hit every cliche of independent coming of age cinema:

-Precocious teen: check
-Teen angry at the world: check
-Main character doesn't go by conventional name: check
-Love/hate relationship with mother: check
-Lovable best friend: check
-Moody teen: check

Tropes or Cliches remain constant they only change if you invert or lampshade them and if you do people get mad
