Mother and Child (2010)
Directed by Rodrigo
Garcia this film stars Naomi Watts, Annette Bening and Kerry
Washington. Three women's lives are affected by adoption in different
ways in a story that eventually connects all three.
Beyond the three main
stars there is an excellent supporting cast in this film that
includes Samuel L. Jackson and Shareeka Epps that certainly helps
make this film watch-able. The plot manages to tackle the issue of
adoption without taking a heavy handed or preachy approach but by
side lining all the fathers it does feel like the film fails to show
the complete issue. My other criticisms of them film are that it may
be a little on the long side and Washington's character lacks the
depth of the other leads.
3/5
