Synopsis

"With 20th Century Women, acclaimed filmmaker Mike Mills (the Academy Award-winning Beginners) brings us a richly multilayered, funny, heart-stirring celebration of the complexities of women, family, time, and the connections we search for our whole lives. Set in Santa Barbara, the film follows Dorothea Fields (Annette Bening), a determined single mother in her mid-50s who is raising her adolescent son, Jamie (newcomer Lucas Jade Zumann, in a breakout performance) at a moment brimming with cultural change and rebellion. Dorothea enlists the help of two younger women in Jamie’s upbringing: Abbie (Greta Gerwig), a free-spirited punk artist living as a boarder in the Fields’ home, and Julie (Elle Fanning), a savvy and provocative teenage neighbor. 20th Century Women is a poignant love letter to the people who raise us—and the times that form us—as this makeshift family forges fragile connections that will mystify and inspire them through their lives." (A24) Mike Mills---USA---2016---118 mins.

This movie made me remember why I wanted the 70s to end. Michael@25 said it all, but he was too kind in rating 20th century women at 3 stars.

This one was frustrating. The performances, particularly by Benning, Gerwig and Fanning, are outstanding. The film itself is rather shapeless. It took about an hour for the film to make clear what Gerwig's relationship to the other characters was. I kept thinking I should have liked this film more than I did. I was a male teen in the late Seventies with a divorced mom. I should have related to the hero more than I did. The movie didn't seem to come to a resolution. It followed the hero for a couple of months and then stopped. Maybe life is like that, but movies, particularly successful movies, have to come to a resolution.
