以上個世紀七O年代為背景,導演麥克米爾斯(Mike Mils)的《二十世紀女性》講述了三名女性陪伴一個男孩成長的故事。原片名 20th Century Women,聽來格局宏大,直接涵蓋了整個群體,但其實電影本身並非那麼難以親近,翻譯成「二十世紀的她們」倒更接近其日常氣息。「她們」範圍縮小、指涉明確,男主角青春時代陪伴在身邊的三位女性:母親、暗戀的好友茱莉(Julie),以及住在樓上的女性主義攝影師艾比(Abbie)。藉由男主角與三人的互動,導演舉重若輕地描繪了七O年代末的美國生活,龐克、女性主義、花襯衫、卡特總統……。沒有太激烈的衝突或戲劇化的開展,全片節奏舒緩,在一樁樁年少往事裡漸成滋味。而利用多重視角,從不同人的角度分段敘述,同一件事反覆辯證,也讓事件有了不同的樣貌。大量的旁白穿插其間,無論講述他人或自我講述,都賦予單一情節多重意義。

Ruben and Robby are twin brothers, adopted by Mona, one of the wealthiest - and most eccentric - women in Santa Barbara. Ruben is devoted to Mona, but Robby is more devoted to her money. So when Mona leaves her fortune and estate to Ruben it starts a battle between brothers that soon leads to madness, mayhem, and even attempted murder. On Ruben's side is Lou Perilli an ex-Chicago cop and used car dealer who knows the law - and how to get around it. On Robby's side is ruthless businessman Reed Tyler, who is out to turn a swift profit on Mona's property. Walking a shifty line between them is Eddie Agopian, the family lawyer, who doesn't care which side wins as long as he's on the winner's side. But whether they're stealing big or stealing little, they're all stealing in this hilarious comedy about greed, power... and brotherly love.
