The setting: St. Francis Xavier High School, a Catholic, all boys college preparatory. Plot Twist: It’s located in Sacramento, California.

Sacramento is presented as a beautiful, unique community that Lady Bird gradually begins to love as the movie progresses. I was refreshed to see a smaller town portrayed on screen as opposed to the big cities or beachs often portrayed in the media. Sacramento didn’t fall under any predictable tropes like a western; I knew that it certainly had character, but I couldn’t quite categorize what it reminded me
