20th Century Women caught me by surprise, this wasn't on my radar until recently, and thank god I found it. This movie is amazing. The story follows a young boy growing up without any prominent male figure so his mother and people around him help raise him. This movie has a very entertaining and enjoyable story that will make just about anyone smile. The acting in this movie is very good, Elle Fanning is only becoming a better actress in each and every movie she is in. The music, while subtle, helps bring emotion to each and every scene. My only problems with this movie is with some of the editing and cutting. In some cases, scenes didn't transition well. One minute we're watching these characters party and having a great time and within 30 seconds we're right in the middle of a really deep and sad scene. The movie should have transitioned the scenes better so that way the audience could have gotten emotional along with the characters. Overall, the editing errors weren't big enough to effect the overall film. 20th Century Women is smart, witty, funny, emotional, grounded, and thought provoking.
