1. The film ("20th Century Woman") was filmed on the same location as the film "Survival" (2006), starring Annette Bening in both films. 2. According to Mike Mills (the director of the film), the film is semi-autobiographical. The creation of several important characters in the film is based on Mike Mills' childhood experience. Annette Bening's character, in particular, is based in part on Mike's mother, and of course emphasizes Bening's self-interpretation of the character. 3. Annette Bening and Elle Fanning co-star in the play, both of whom also co-starred in the 2012 film Ginger and Rosa. 4. This movie is the second Elle Fanning has starred in with three generations of women. The first film to work with three generations of women was "About Thunder" in 2015. 5. This is the second film Greta Gerwig and Billy Crudup starred in in 2016, the first being "The First Lady" in 2016. I translate from imdb.
