During the summer of 1979, a Santa Barbara single mom and boardinghouse landlord (Annette Bening) decides the best way she can parent her teenage son (Lucas Jade Zumann) is to enlist her young tenants – a quirky punk photographer (Greta Gerwig), a mellow handyman (Billy Crudup) and her son’s shrewd best friend (Elle Fanning) – to serve as role models in a changing world.
“A simply glorious Annette Bening (the Academy needs to that Best Actress nomination happen) leads a stellar cast in Mike Mills’ semiautobiographical story about a bohemian women raising a teen in the age of 1970’s feminism and punk rock.” -Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
“Detail-packed but never dull, with dialogue that absolutely sings and characters we want to stay with forever, it’s the kind of work that begs revisiting, like a favorite collection of short stories.” -Andrew Lapin, NPR
