20th Century Women

In a time when women and their rights to equality seem very vulnerable, it’s nice to see an up-and-coming director making a concerted effort to tell wonderful, human stories about women and how they affect our lives. With an all-star cast featuring Annette Benning, Elle Fanning, Greta Gerwig, Billy Crudup and young newcomer Lucas Jade Zumannn, 20th Century Women marvelously tells the story of freedom and challenges in late-1970s Santa Barbara, California and all of the learning experiences it can bring.
