What We Think

“20th Century Women” leans heavily into progressive messaging at times, particularly around gender and modern attitudes. While it boasts strong performances and some nuance, the overall approach puts ideology front and center over traditional narratives or cultural balance.

Traditional masculinity is continually interrogated, sometimes mocked, and the mother-son dynamic centers on progressive views about gender and family. Religion and traditional morality are sidelined, suggesting these values are outdated or irrelevant.

What is this?

The film largely operates within a single ideological framework, with alternative viewpoints either gently dismissed or left unexplored. Traditional perspectives, especially regarding family and gender, aren't given much depth or fair hearing.
