The opening frames set the tone, the universal giving way to the specific, a portrait of an era zeroing in on individual experience: an overhead shot of waves breaking on the coast; an aerial survey of the city; a Ford Galaxy bursting into flame in a grocery parking lot. “How did you get to be this person that you are?” That question is the essence of 20th Century Women, Mike Mills’ impressive followup to his 2010 triumph Beginners.

Has Mike Mills ever been unsympathetic to another human being? If his two most recent features, Beginners and this year’s Nyff centerpiece selection, 20th Century Women, were the only available evidence, one might be inclined to think not. Overused and a catch-all though it may be, “humanist” is a label that’s earned rather emphatically — not for expressing interest in people, but by mining into what makes that person. Those who they love, what they hold onto or spiritually, the things they own, what they’ve experienced, and, most important of all, how they process time cannot here be taken for granted in the slightest bit. Both films comprising this philosophy initially strike this writer as unbearable, readily digestible existentialism for dummies; and then they continue along a well-planned path until the material is less of a drama than a hyper-perceptive communication of experience.
