Writer / director Mike Mills follows up the wonderful Beginners with 20th Century Women, a semi-autobiographical drama/comedy that centres on the relationship between single parent Dorothea (Annette Bening) and her 15-year-old son Jamie (Lucas Jade Zumann). Set in California in 1979, Dorothea and Jamie live in a large, mouldering old house with tenants Abbie (Greta Gerwig) and William (Billy Crudup). Dorothea enlists Abbie and Jamie’s best friend Julie (Elle Fanning) to help raise him in areas where she, as his mother, cannot make a connection. We follow this unconventional family through a character rather than plot-driven narrative.
