This is a lovely, gentle, beautifully observed piece of nostalgia - perfect Sunday afternoon viewing. It also reminds you what a treasure Annette Bening is, and how easily she can create truthful, real yet conflicted female characters on the screen. The increasingly impressive Elle Fanning and Greta Gerwig are also great. The icing on the cake is Billy Crudup, who always seems to make interesting choices which serve the story rather than his ego as an actor.
I loved taking the trip back to the 70s, listening to Talking Heads, imagining how exciting New York must have been around then. I loved the detail of the interconnected stories and hints at how complicated being a woman can be. Recommended to anyone with a mother or grandmother or any other woman in their life that they have loved.
