Directed by Mike Mills (“Beginners“) and starring Annette Bening, Elle Fanning, Greta Gerwig, Lucas Jade Zumann, and Billy Crudup, the film is set in 1979 Santa Barbara, and follows Dorothea (Bening), a determined single mother in her mid-50s who is raising her adolescent son, Jamie (Zumann), at a time brimming with cultural change. Dorothea enlists the help of two younger women — Abbie (Gerwig), a punk artist boarding in Fields’s home; and Julie (Fanning), their savvy teenage neighbor — to help raise him. Along with William (Crudup), a bohemian handyman who rooms in Dorothea’s house, they form a makeshift family that inspires them for the rest of their lives.
