- Synopsis:
Annette Bening and Naomi Watts star in this moving story, from writer-director Rodrigo Garcia (Albert Nobbs), about three women and the power of the unbreakable bond between mother and child. Annette Bening is Karen, a woman coping with the death of her mother and the feelings of regret over the child she gave up for adoption when she was 14. Naomi Watts is Elizabeth, the grown up daughter Karen has never met, now an ambitious lawyer who has trouble making emotional connections. Kerry Washington is Lucy, a wife who turns to adoption as the key to the maternity she passionately craves. The rich and complex stories of these three women are skilfully intertwined into a single narrative that runs deep with emotion. - Actors:

Intense , moving and cerebral viewing. - Mother and Child review by PT
An in depth look at the bonds of a mother and child and the psychological consequences of splitting this bond, which basically could be described as mental illness.
Annette Benin and Naomi Watts act superbly here, as two damaged souls who bring other people down with their behaviour and actions.
If the above sounds appealing, then I would urge you to watch, as it really is brilliant.
