Elle Fanning’s Near-Perfect Masterpiece Officially Makes a Streaming Comeback on Plex
A free streaming return
Starting November 1, viewers can watch 20th Century Women for free on Plex. The film stars Fanning alongside Annette Bening, Greta Gerwig and Lucas Jade Zumann. Mills loosely based the story on his own childhood. It follows a single mother who seeks help from two younger women as she raises her adolescent son.
Fanning’s role in the story
Fanning plays Julie, while Bening portrays the mother and Gerwig plays Abbie, the other younger woman. The film centers on the relationships among the three women and the boy they help raise.
Ahead of a new franchise film
The streaming availability comes before The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping reaches theaters on November 20. The story is set decades before Jennifer Lawrence’s Katniss first volunteered as tribute.
Fanning is among the film’s cast, which also includes Mckenna Grace, Jesse Plemons, Ralph Fiennes, Glenn Close, Whitney Peak and Kieran Culkin. The film recently held its London premiere, where early reactions were glowing.
