Santa Barbara, été 1979. L'époque est marquée par la contestation et d'importants changements culturels. Dorothea Fields, la cinquantaine, élève seule son fils Jamie. Elle décide de faire appel à deux jeunes femmes pour que le garçon, aujourd'hui adolescent, s'ouvre à d'autres regards sur le monde : Abbie, artiste punk à l'esprit frondeur qui habite chez Dorothea, et sa voisine Julie, 17 ans, aussi futée qu'insoumise...

I didn’t actually find much comedic elements in this movie. Rather, I found moments that compared the 1970s with the present and came across as very absurd. Which is more or less obvious. The comparison of the then landline phone with modern mobiles will always be absurd. Nevertheless, the movie is built on situations like these, and it’s actually its essence. It presents life stories of different women of that time and even though the movie is boring at times, the finale makes up for it very nicely. An inconspicuous, stylish movie, which contains plenty of good ideas and a solidly executed ending.

I kind of expected this to be a good movie. And it actually turned out to be good. There are excellent performances by the actors, it's true to life, and there are stories that can resonate with you. Billy Crudup is an actor I always enjoy watching. It just came together so nicely. It didn't blow me away, but it was satisfying.
