This week in NOW, having cleared my plate of all the early November film festivals and visited the Cinesphere, I can just settle down and talk to somebody. Specifically, Greta Gerwig, who makes her solo writing and directing debut with the very good, almost entirely autobiographical Lady Bird, opening in Toronto tomorrow after wowing us all at TIFF.

Having delved into Gerwig’s earlier career at some length for Brendan Prost’s episode of Someone Else’s Movie, I was more than happy to have this conversation. I think you’ll be happy with it too.
