An interesting look at a subject that is hardly broached
26 January 2022
I watched this with my wife.

We thought it was an intriguing, interesting and important subject for a film.

We weren't bored and the ending was satisfying.

There is a brewing tension which comes to a head but it isn't quite what was expected. It leaves the viewer to put their take on it.

I liked the narrative structure.

This is a study of a subject (are all women capable of being "good" mothers when they have other ambitions they wish to pursue).

What makes a good mother, I guess?

The answer is not black and white.

It's not easy being a parent but by God it is one of the most fulfilling parts of life. To miss your children's childhood is a sad moment when you look back in life.

You only know the answers when you get older. More the pity.

In any case, we felt it was a thought provoking film.

If you like art house films, slow dramas, I think you'll like this.

Like Shirley Valentine but with regrets.
