let's start with 20th century womenm, the latest from writer—director mike mills. it's an interesting film, set in california at the end of the ‘70s. a young boy facing an uncertain adulthood, surrounded by strong women of different ages, who both inspire and also confound him, not least his free—spirited mother, brilliantly played by annette bening. here's a clip. stop. what? thinking that you know everything that's going on. no, ijust think that, you know, having your heart broken is a tremendous way to learn about the world. 0k. do you think you're happy? like... ..as happy as you thought you'd be when you were my age? seriously? you don't ask people questions like that. you're my mum. especially your mum. wondering if you're happy is a great short cut tojust being depressed. give me that. i already love it, just from that. and i'm afraid i haven't seen it yet. and you're right to do so. i thought it was a terrific film. it has these natural performances, partly because they had time to rehearse and get to know the characters. secondly, these are characters
