Brilliant and hypnotic - 20th Century Women review by EN
Brilliant, hypnotic movie, really summons the feel of the period, all the performances were nuanced and vivid, the plot original and interesting, the dance scenes were electrifying, and the film boasts a fab soundtrack; I entirely agree with the other reviewer here, this is definitely one to watch.

Usual teen angst coming-of-age drama, but a young cast keeps it fresh. - 20th Century Women review by DB
I WANTED to see 20th Century Women because I'd seen good reviews about it. Also, I like Elle Fanning very much. Annette Benning is good as the mother in the central role, but she has done this sort of role before in both AMERICAN BEAUTY and THE KIDS ARE ALRIGHT. ELLE FANNING is the best thing about the movie, her performance is just so natural and fresh. Good period detail too for 1979 and both BILLY CRUDUP and GRETA GERWIG help bulk up the cast and move the story along. A good rental.
