	Author	Review
United Kingdom	Jordan Hoffman The Guardian	"A film about nothing specific boasts rush of gorgeous moments, a standout performance from Annette Bening and profound thoughts on family and identity (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of five)"	POS
United States	Gregory Ellwood The Playlist	"20th Century Women becomes a window into a world where you may see your own mother, your own sister, your own brother or another relative or perhaps even yourself"	POS
United States	Owen Gleiberman Variety	"Annette Bening shines in a drama set in 1979 from the director of 'Beginners,' but despite many good scenes the movie is aimless"	NEU
United States	David Ehrlich IndieWire	"Less twee and more textured than 'Beginners,' Mills' new film is a densely layered delight that's topped off with killer performances"	POS
United States	David Rooney The Hollywood Reporter	"A warmly textured family affair (...) Along with the actors, the strength of 20th Century Women is the multigenerational sweep of its observations"	POS
United States	Dan Callahan The Wrap	"'20th Century Women' mainly overcomes its flaws through the sheer imaginative sensitivity of Mills’s writing"	POS
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"Annette Bening shines in brilliant mother-son drama. (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"	POS
