Review of 20th Century Women (2016) by Seraphic W — 10 Feb 2017
'Beginners' was good. Let's remake that... but different. Oh! I know, I know... 'The Kids Are All Right', that was good, too. Mashup time? I THINK SO! And we'll make it pretty so we don't have to bother with any actual plot nonsense - ain't nobody got time for that! OMFG, how about we make the characters completely unnatural and unrelatable by giving them some bullshit dialogue, too? I mean... If we mix it up with choppy voice-overs and still imagery it's going to be so totes metaphilosophical! I can already see the comments!
BEAUTIFUL! GENTLE! THOUGHT-PROVOKING! NOSTALGIC! EMPOWERING! AN IMPORTANT CASE STUDY ON HUMAN RELATIONSHIPS! SOULFUL! EDGY!
...And utterly, boringly pretentious. Fact: it tired me out so much, I can't be arsed with properly reviewing it which, in this case, is this film's only win. And now I'll just go ahead and forget it.
