The story takes place on a film set in 1979. Its about a single mom Santa Barbara deciding the best way to parent her teenage son with the help of two young women at a moment brimming with cultural change and rebellion.
We finally have a good film that explores what it looks like to raise a male feminist, particularly during this crucial era. More importantly, we finally have a film that actually cares to do so (shout out to writer/director Mike Mills).
The film is well worth a look, if just for the performances; just know going in that director Mills calls upon his cast and script to do most of the heavy lifting.
Through a polaroid aesthetic and a psychedelic and selective image distortion, the film embarks us on an iconoclastic journey through the devastating irruption of punk in American culture. [Full review in Spanish]
Mike Mills' 20th Century Women features a magnificent ensemble and several intriguing characters, but thanks to a slight case of overcrowding, many of them and their connections to each other are left largely unexplored.
Mills's world is certainly not devoid of pain, but it's leached of bitterness, leached of conflict, leached of aggression, leached of hostility; the pain and the trauma are leached of consequence.
