In 2017, a new phase of Gerwig's career and popularity began with her debut as a solo writer-director. To date, she has directed three films: ''Film/LadyBird'', ''Film/{{Little Women|2019}}'' and ''Film/{{Barbie|2023}}''. All three were widely acclaimed, and all of them received UsefulNotes/AcademyAward nods for Best Picture (giving Gerwig the history-making distinction of being the only director to have their first three films all be Best Picture nominees) and for Gerwig's screenplays among other nominations (though Gerwig getting passed over for Best Director nominations for ''Little Women'' and especially ''Barbie'' proved to be controversial). ''Barbie'' marked Gerwig's biggest budget ($145 million) and [[AllStarCast most star-studded cast]] (led by Creator/MargotRobbie and Creator/RyanGosling) yet, and was an undisputed box office sensation, grossing over $1.4 billion. It became the highest-grossing film of 2023 and currently stands as the highest-grossing film released by Creator/WarnerBros and the highest-grossing film by a solo female director.
