20th Century Women
In 1979 Santa Barbara, Dorothea Fields is a determined single mother in her mid-50s who is raising her adolescent son, Jamie, at a moment brimming with cultural change and rebellion. She decides to enlist the help of two younger women, Abbie, a punk artist living as a boarder in the Fields' home and Julie, a savvy teenage neighbour to help with Jamie's upbringing. Benning is simply astonishing in this funny, nuanced, lovely film.
