Review of 20th Century Women (2016) by Netflic — 30 Jan 2017
It is a time period movie, set in 1979 in Santa Barbara where a single mom in her mid 50th is raising her only teenage son.
There are good performances in this movie, particularly from Annette Bening playing the mom.
The movie is rich with interesting situations and funny remarks.
Absence of a plot does not help making the movie stand out. The film is a collection of episodes that makes a whole object if you look at it from a distance, similar to a painting by an impressionist.
In short, the film is atmospheric but boring at times. Worth seeing although not remarkable or memorable.
