Review of 20th Century Women (2016) by Kerri O — 28 Feb 2017
20th Century Women is one of those films that just missed out on the Oscar window but might have benefitted from that centering around Annette Benings's matriarch as she is concerned as her son's teenage years have just begun that he might need more positive role models to help form him into adulthood, with his potential wannabe girlfriend and two crashers at their house filling gigantic roles in that, not realising that this process will help her actually become more comunitive and well rounded with the times in the process.
Typical indie craftmaship shows off the great Californian countryside and the performances are rock solid, which minimal flash, 20th century women is an intriguing study of feminism being passed on to the next generation but also to a boy growing up to treat the opposite sex as an equal as opposed to norms for the time.
A little stage playish at times but ok as a whole.
