...heart, though, this movie isn't an homage to anybody. Foster has her own confident style, her own cinema craft to create a world that is both familiar and unique.

Through its dozen or so characters, it provided a panoramic 20-year history of American womanhood. The heart of the piece is Lyn, earnest careerist-wife-mom, exhausted by achieving feminism's goals: "We can have it all. We already have it all. We just got it all at once." And the narrator is Trudy, bag-lady philosopher: "My mind didn't snap; it was tryin' to stretch itself into a new shape...
