"In every woman, there is a girl she left behind."
Four childhood friends - Teeny, Chrissy, Samantha, and Roberta - reunite as adults to prepare for the arrival of Chrissy’s baby and reflect on the unforgettable summer of 1970 that shaped their lives. Returning to their hometown, they relive the joys and challenges of adolescence: first loves, family struggles, bullies, secrets, and the unshakable strength of their friendship. Through laughter and tears, they come to understand how those formative moments made them who they are today. Now and Then (1995), celebrating its 30th anniversary, remains a timeless classic of growing up and growing together.
"Now And Then gave the complexities of girlhood a weight that coming-of-age films had heretofore typically neglected."
Ilana Kaplan, The New York Times.
