A quiet, melancholy drama. I watched it for the ensemble cast that was assembled for this film. The story has value, but ultimately the dour tone becomes a little stifling for the film to be a fun watch.

Despite some impressive acting performances and a carefully constructed narrative designed to pluck at emotional heartstrings, I felt I lacked the vagina needed for me to connect to this movie in any meaningful way.

Though it occasionally veers into unnecessary melodrama, Mother and Child benefits from a stellar cast and writer-director Rodrigo Garcia's finely detailed, bravely unsentimental script.

Almost perfect, but for a few ill-considered forays into schhmalz. Still a wonderful story, from beginning to end. Both Ashley Judd and Naomi Watts were fantastic.

A vastly underrated and underappreciated drama about motherhood blessed with a smart and mature script and filled with great performances. It manages to be emotionally involving without crossing into melodramatic territories (for the most part at least). Annette Bening will be nominated for Best Actress come Oscar time next year for The Kids are all right but she's just as good in this one, if not better.

"A two-hankie weepie for the family-values set, Rodrigo Garcia's latest sudser worships at the altar of motherhood, a state that the writer-director posits as something like the essence of womanhood." - Andrew Schenker

The most essential human bond being its mission statement, it's no wonder that the substance of the film is love, which is also the only thing that finally brings closure to its interconnected cast. We come out renewed as if from a baptism, and I appreciate Garcia's tact in having the only overtly Christian character be the most intrusive one. It is a spiritual film though - glowing, gentle, and touching. And for all its melodrama elegant and succinct, one strong scene after the other.

The film is noteworthy for the the way it avoids the dumb moves a typical Hollywood film would make with this script, which is essentially about motherhood.

When it comes to family togetherness, love and quality time are thicker than blood, water or just about any other social glue you can think of. That's the admirable if hardly news-breaking message of Rodrigo Garcia's domestic drama Mother and Child, whose official thread is the impact of adoption on three different women.
