God, this movie was so boring. Great soundtrack, though.Dorothea (Annette Benning) worries about raising her 15-year-old son Jamie (Lucas Jade Zumann) by herself and enlists her 20-something renter (Greta Gerwig) and Jamie's high school best friend (Elle Fanning) to help her mold him into a good man.
There's so much talking. Nobody shuts up for the entire 1 hr 59 min run time unless it's to stare moodily at each other or dance arrhythmically.
The appeal of this film is going to be based solely on how well you connect with any and all of the characters presented, and frankly I could not have cared less. A swing and a miss on all fronts. But maybe this particular piece of nostalgia bait will speak to you. What do I know? It's currently streaming on Kanopy.
