20th Century Women
The changing social currents of the 1970s sweep through an unconventional Santa Barbara, California, household in Mike Mills’s tender, wryly funny reflection on his own upbringing. Annette Bening shines as Dorothea, a strong-willed professional and single mother who, unsure of how to connect with her teenage son (Lucas Jade Zumann), turns to two younger women: politically engaged photographer Abbie (Greta Gerwig) and restless, rebellious high schooler Julie (Elle Fanning), who both initiate him into a world of punk rock, sexual discovery, and emerging feminist thought. Animated by love for its idiosyncratic characters, 20th Century Women is a story about a young man’s coming of age that is just as much about the extraordinary women who guide him.
