Perhaps the most Bechdel-Testiest (hehe, testies) ensemble film by an American man in my lifetime, consisting largely of different women discussing woman-&motherhood (half north of 40) and turning on a pair of great scenes of such in the middle, maybe a little broadly contrived in Sayles' well-intentioned way but movingly performed and penetrating in the specifics. Plus there's a whole mini-PIXOTE threaded through. Lili Taylor gets a fair amount of material but her role seemed oddly limited.

"The film's nameless South American pit-stop brings to mind the same ambient, allegorical landscapes of Matewan devastated by the specters of imperialism." - Ed Gonzalez

A low key but effective film, with a surprisingly powerful performance by Daryl Hanna. Everybody else is good too, particularly Marcia Gay Harden.

John Sayles does Mexico. All those American women waiting to adopt Mexican babies make such a wonderful metaphor for U.S. imperialism
