20th Century Women 2016

★★★★½ Rewatched by laura 31 Aug 2021 2

nothing is spectacular and yet everything is. a birthday cake with strawberry slices falling down the sides. a dome in the park that paints a layer of light over the grass. a house that is perpetually being fixed, but never feels uninviting. one hand that scratches your back, while the other jots down all the stocks. everything is constantly breathing, supporting, glowing. no question is asked rhetorically — everything awaits a story. propped up on an elbow, ready to listen or speak. whichever is desired.

everything about it screams film adaptation but it works in a way because locations that we hear about seem unattainable. deep love for steve zahn’s little outfit change at the end

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

the more i think about the ending, the more i feel bad for truman. the way he’s entering a world where he expects to finally be free and in charge of his own destiny, but is actually entering an environment where everyone knows him & has watched him his whole life, and will treat him differently based on what they have learned to expect of him.
