The background of the story is set during the second wave of feminist movement in the United States. The narrative style from multiple perspectives shows the life trajectory and personality characteristics of five individuals. Dorothea has experienced the changes of the times. Abbie uses feminism to hide his inner fragility, and Julie is casual. Grow as you want. The confrontation of musical styles, the color duplication expressing the passage of time, the discussion of literary works, and the process of focusing on telling good characters' stories further reflect the grand changing pattern of the times. The mother-child line is relatively large, the rest of the narrative is slightly loose, and the narrative at the end of the film is not so necessary. After all, life is just like that, and there are imperfections and shit everywhere. Many of us now tend to worship self-indulgence and consumption, but we also find that possession and consumption cannot satisfy our desire for meaning.

    The world premiere, so I can't find any reviews and synopses. I know it's a feminist theme, so I'm a little unsure. But I like it. Picture, lines, music, story

    Use the background of the big era to tell the estrangement and growth between a mother and son, and then deduce the dilemma and self-breakthrough of various women at present. Various elements are perfectly integrated in the eloquent tone, but inadvertently The theme of the film is also expounded in the book; this film is not only a feminist film, but also a delicate work about the individual and the changing times. Four stars.
