Lady Bird (2017) directed by Greta Gerwig

Aside from suffering from “everybody-gets-into-prestigious-college-itis,” Gerwig actually managed to portray high school in a semi-realistic manner. There’s always the awkward and stubborn student that obsesses over their future and sticks out like a sore thumb, and that student is almost always convinced that they are the most talented actor to have ever existed. Also, high schoolers are pretentious.
