Uma Therman is in this movie and after her great performance in "Prime", prompted me to stay with the storyline and remain open minded.
Whilst I don't regard her as someone that will attract an audience for her looks, she is an actress who is very credible, off-beat and who can readily be related to.
In this, the character she plays has a "to do list" which is most ambitious. In itself that demonstrated to me how, as a Mum, it's so easy to spread yourself too thinly.
An overloaded Mum at some stage will show a dimension of rebellion - present homecare v prior to children ambition or have "what ifs" come into the forefront, which can cloud judgement or set the cat amongst the pigeons in terms of unsettling behaviour.
A light, pleasurable film which turned out to be ideal for Mother's Day.
Left me with worthy sentiments...
"Look to your children because they know how to inhabit brief periods of time with extreme passion."
"Search for and hold on to your own true self."
"Motherhood is about accepting the limitations of time and energy which stretch beyond you even though sometimes it feels like it could consume you."
I score this film 6 (10 is high)
