Annette Bening is a national treasure.

Feels like Mark read my exact emotions from this movie. As soon as the movie was over all I wanted to do was watch it again to spend more time with these wonderful characters.

It’s just a spectacularly beautiful film. I get more from it every time I watch it. I love the characters, the colours, the music. A firm favourite of mine.

I wanted to cry at the scene when he has a crash course in understanding at hospital with Gretta Gerwigs character

Completely agree with Mark. Had the same feeling through out the film. The first thing that my sister, who watched the movie with me, after the film was finished said was pretty much the same thing as Simon in the interview with Annette Bening, "I was just smiling through the entire movie".

It really reminded me of the 1970s, the people and ambience of the film really reminded me of people I knew.

‘20th Century Women’ could be contrasted with ‘Fences’ as they are both character-driven films released in the same week. ‘Fences’ strength is in the quality of its dialogue and the delivery of that dialogue which is direct and both tight and uptight; ‘20th Century Women’ on the other hand is much more meandering, laid back and melancholic. Communication is more about miscommunication, which complicates the relationships between its characters far more than would possibly be expected. From time to time I felt the film stagnated a little before finding its flow again. I still think that there’s more than enough to recommend it though, especially the performance of Annette Bening, which it what the film revolves around. 3/5

Agree her nomination was absolute necessity for this film but it's gotta be Isabelle for Elle. Fearless AFs performance. Hands down nothing else came close. Annette tho is America's top film and theatre actresses and Hillary Swank still a NO for me. Viva Annette
