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.
Fifty-year-old Karen (Annette Bening) regrets giving up her daughter, Elizabeth (Naomi Watts), for adoption; years later, Elizabeth questions her own approach to life. Their stories intersect with that of Lucy (Kerry Washington), who hopes to fulfill her dreams of motherhood through adoption. Rodrigo García writes and directs this drama about parenting, sacrifice, romance and self-fulfillment. Eileen Ryan and Samuel L. Jackson co-star.
Annette Bening, Naomi Watts, Kerry Washington, Samuel L. Jackson, Shareeka Epps, David Morse, Marc Blucas, Jimmy Smits, S. Epatha Merkerson, Elpidia Carrillo, David Ramsey, and Brittany Robertson
