Now and Then
A sun-drenched, bittersweet reminiscence of a single, formative summer in 1970, *Now and Then* unfolds through the interwoven memories of four women reconnecting as adults. The film distinguishes itself from typical coming-of-age stories not through dramatic conflict, but through a gentle, often humorous exploration of first crushes, shared secrets, and the anxieties of burgeoning womanhood—particularly focusing on navigating early understandings of their bodies and sexuality. It’s a distinctly female gaze on adolescence, less concerned with grand narratives of self-discovery and more focused on the quiet, relatable moments of navigating friendship, fear, and the loss of innocence. The narrative employs a nostalgic tone, layering a sense of warmth and regret over the remembered adventures, making it a comforting, though melancholic, exploration of how childhood experiences shape adult identities.
