    Such an intellectual film, intellectual drama, intellectual performance. In addition to subsistence and trivial matters, a person lives a spiritual soul. The various presentations and discussions in the film seem to be far away from us and very close. It's a sketch, but it makes people...

    The style is good, and Aunt Benin did perform well, with distinct characteristics of the times, but the pattern is not...

    Smoking, dancing, partying, falling in love, quarreling, time is the stream and mother's hand, overwhelming the short silence and long meaninglessness of adolescence. Boys who grow up surrounded by women will inevitably bring some female characteristics. The way of observing the world, or communicating with the crowd, asking and thinking questions are gifts given by mothers and...

    Life itself is unpredictable, and this is also the most fascinating part of the fragmented narrative "Woman of the Twentieth Century". I still don’t understand women. Perhaps after reading this one, you will find that you are one step closer to this magical...

    82/100 The multi-angle narrative style of the first and third person mix and match, with invisible editing, coupled with very thoughtful original soundtrack, makes watching this film a kind of enjoyment. The background of the story is set during the second wave of feminist movement in the United States. The editor and director gently told the stories of several "new" women with a very sincere narrative attitude. It was neither miserable nor very happy, but somehow is extremely incomparable....

    4.5 The dialogue of the lines is simply amazing. But the details of the lives of a few women are like fast-forward camouflage roads, spinning old-fashioned turntables, Carter's speech on faith, dotted lines, and outlines the interpersonal relationship and life of that era. Let go of the word "feminism", it only refers to the turbulent passing of time. It is the privilege to witness you and me in that century: perplexed and confused, sad but not...

    This fresh and independent literary film has a fiery heart. Its compact structure euphemistically describes the little love and grievances between two men and three women. It is a vivid portrait of the conflicts and changes in the relationship between different age groups under the change of times. It is also a song for women in the 1980s. Nostalgic little love...

20th Century Women quotes

  • Jamie: I thought that was just the beginning of a new relationship with her, where she'd really tell me stuff. But maybe it was never really like that again. Maybe that was it.

    Dorothea: In March of 1999, I'll start to feel tired and confused. When I finally go to the doctor, he will say that the cancer in my lungs had already travelled to my breast and brain. I'll try to teach Jamie what to do with my stocks, but my instructions will be impossible to understand.

    Julie: Abbie will take me to Planned Parenthood. And I will go on the pill. I will go to NYU and lose touch with Jamie and Dorothea, and I will stop talking to my mom, I will fall in love with Nicholas, we will move to Paris, and choose not to have children.

    Abbie: I will stay in Santa Barbara. In just two years, I'll marry Dave. A month after I get married Carlotta will die. A week later, Max will die too. I will work out of my garage and show in local galleries. Against my doctor's advice, I will get pregnant, and by the time I'm thirty I'll have two boys.

    William: I'll live with Dorothea for another year. Then I'll open a pottery store in Sedona Arizona. I will marry Laurie, a singer-songwriter. We'll get divorced in a year. Then I'll meet Sandy, we will marry, and I will continue to do my pottery.

    Jamie: My mom will meet Jim in 1983, they'll be a couple until she dies. On her birthday each year, he will buy her a trip on a biplane. Years after she's gone I'll finally get married and have a son. I'll try to explain to him what his grandmother was like - but it will be impossible.

  • Jamie: [to his mom] You know, when the firemen come... people don't usually invite them for dinner.
