On Monday May 5 2025, Hallmark broadcasts The Motherhood!

Team Mom Season 1 Episode 2 Episode Summary

The upcoming episode of “The Motherhood,” titled “Team Mom,” promises to be an inspiring and heartwarming story. This episode focuses on Rochelle, a dedicated single mom who always puts her two boys first. Viewers will see how Rochelle balances her busy life, often sacrificing her own needs for her children. However, this time, the spotlight shifts to her as she learns the importance of prioritizing herself.

Rochelle’s journey is supported by Connie Britton and The Neighbor Ladies, who play crucial roles in helping her realize that even the strongest moms need time for self-care. The episode highlights the challenges that many mothers face while juggling responsibilities, and it emphasizes the message that taking care of oneself is not selfish but necessary.

As Rochelle navigates this new path, viewers can expect moments of humor, warmth, and genuine connection.

Hallmark will premiere a new unscripted series on the network. Connie Britton will serve as host of the first-ever transformational series.

My Cool Friend Michelle

Mara Wilson pens a lovely tribute in Vulture to Michelle Trachtenberg, who died Feb. 26 at 39. The actress speaks to several of their old friends and recalls how Trachtenberg was bullied and resented at their middle school, but in their circle of '90s child actors, the Harriet the Spy star was "the heart" of the group and the person everyone wanted to be or date.

Forqué-nominated Spanish director Gala Gracia (“Evanescente”) will debut her tender first feature, “Remnants of You” (“Lo que queda de ti”), in competition at this year’s Malaga Film Festival.

The narrative follows Sara, a young jazz pianist living in New York who’s returned home to Spain’s Pyrenees after news of her father’s abrupt death. As heightened mourning grips her, she finds she’s inherited his sheep farm alongside her sister Elena, planting her firmly in a hometown both familiar and suffocating.

A highly personal portrait of reconciling desires against the sturdy expectations life doles out, the film centers Sara’s trepidation, as she weighs abandoning her passions to run the family business in an attempt to uphold her father’s legacy, potentially sacrificing the nourishment of her own.

Produced by Carlo D’Ursi’s Potenza Producciones (“The Quiet Maid”) with co-production credits to Bastian Films, Sajama Films, Garbo Produzioni and Fado Filmes,...

Ryan Reynolds got buried alive in a shallow grave in the underrated 2010 thriller Buried, and it’s the same exact plot as the CSI episode that was guest-directed by Quentin Tarantino. Since Reynolds’ last few roles have been snarky and self-aware, there’s a misconception that Deadpool is the only character he’s capable of playing. But in Buried, he gave a straightforward dramatic performance as an American truck driver buried in a wooden coffin with a Zippo lighter and a cell phone in the Iraqi desert.

Reynolds gave one of his best performances in Buried. The movie takes place entirely within the coffin and the only other actors speak to Reynolds over the phone, so he has to carry the entire film on his shoulders, and he does so ably. He gets the audience swept up in this man’s desperate attempts to be found and rescued with the...

Tori Spelling has been open about the difficulties of being a single mother to five children—Liam, 17, Stella, 16, Hattie, 13, Finn, 12, and Beau, 7—since being divorced from Dean McDermott in June 2023.

Spelling talked candidly about the logistical, financial, and emotional challenges she has encountered in the months since the breakup in a recent edition of her podcast, “Misspelling,” which was released on December 6.

A Recorded Therapy Session with Dr. Hillary Goldsher

During the podcast, Spelling invited psychotherapist Dr. Hillary Goldsher to join her for a recorded therapy session. She admitted that her career in Hollywood has made it difficult to establish consistency in her family’s life.

“It’s not financially consistent, nor is it stable,” she explained. “With five kids, I feel like I’m sorry. I’m constantly letting them down because my life is not stable. Their lives are not stable. I can give love in abundance, but...

Nightbitch introduces us to a mother experiencing strange changes. We meet Amy Adams’ character known only as Mother, who gave up her artistic dreams for family life. Now caring for her young son alone much of the time, she finds herself exhausted and unfulfilled. But something even more peculiar is happening—her body starts transforming, taking on canine characteristics.

As Mother notices fuzzy patches and pointy teeth emerge, she feels disconnected from her former self. The changes are disorienting yet somewhat liberating. Though unnerved, she also becomes attuned to primal instincts long suppressed. Neighborhood mutts seem to recognize her as one of their own.

Directed by Marielle Heller, Nightbitch blends metaphor with body horror to probe the mystery of motherhood. When does a woman’s identity melt into her primary role? Adams gives a captivating performance as Mother grapples with unexpected physical and mental evolution. While a startling twist on the surface,...

Quentin Tarantino's "Grave Danger" subverts the usual CSI formula, delivering intense and innovative storytelling. The episode's balance of horror, humor, and tension keeps viewers on edge until its surprising conclusion. Breaking away from the show's typical format, "Grave Danger" showcases CSI's ingenuity and ability to push boundaries.

While CSI has a lot of classic episodes, the shows best outing aired in 2005 and came from a notable guest director, Quentin Tarantino. The CSI franchise has been home to plenty of gruesome stories, but one stands out as a particularly impressive tour de force. The two-part season 5 finale, Grave Danger, is arguably the most tense storyline in the shows long history. While some of CSIs best episodes were great thanks to their memorably nasty deaths, this two-parter is notable for featuring less gore than viewers might expect from the series. However, this doesn't make it any less disturbing.

Admittedly, the first...

The Hong Kong-Asian Film Collaboration Funding Scheme has selected two Hong Kong-Japan co-productions by seasoned producers Stanley Kwan and Shunsuke Koga as its first winning projects.

All The Things We Have Done Wrong That Led Us To This, produced by Kwan, and 38.83, produced by Koga, will each receive a grant of up to $1.1m (Hk$9m) to support their production. The announcement was made at the Hong Kong Night during the Cannes Film Festival on May 16.

All The Things… is to be directed by Japan’s Daishi Matsunaga, whose LGBTQ+ romance drama Egoist played in competition at Tokyo in 2022 and...

Quentin Tarantino is one of our most renowned cinephiles, as illustrated by his encyclopedic knowledge of film history, genres, and Hollywood stars. He is mostly known for creating audacious films such as "Pulp Fiction" and the "Kill Bill" series. While he has co-directed other movies (such as "Four Rooms" and "Sin City"), it is Tarantino's originals that have left a distinct impact on popular culture.

But did you know that Tarantino has also dabbled in television directing? As "Once Upon a Time...in Hollywood" demonstrated, he is just as savvy about television as he is about film, with a wide knowledge of its unique ecosystem and history. He brought this deep appreciation of television to his work on the eerie two-part season 5 finale of "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation" entitled "Grave Danger" in 2005. When the Los Angeles Times asked the wildly creative director if he felt "trapped by working within the confines of network television,...

Erika Alexander shines in 2023's American Fiction, adding depth to a mature, intellectual relationship with Jeffrey Wright's character. She spoke with MovieWeb's Will Sayre at the 96th Academy Awards. With 40 years in the business, Alexander reflects on her journey and the sacrifices her parents made for her success at the Oscars. Earth Mama and American Fiction reflect Alexander's roots in independent filmmaking, having shaped her career and powerful performances.

MovieWeb's own Will Sayre is at the 96th Academy Awards, down in the lobby where actors, filmmakers, and everyone in the industry are enjoying cocktails and Wolfgang Puck's appetizers. He ran into Kirsten Dunst and husband Jesse Plemons, young Dominic Sessa of The Holdovers, Brendan Fraser, and other stars, and had a moving conversation with Erika Alexander, one of the many great actors in the Oscar-nominated film, American Fiction.

American Fiction is one of 2023's best films. Alexander plays...

Montreal-based filmmaker Meryam Joobeur made an international splash with her Oscar-nominated “Brotherhood,” winning considerable acclaim for a 2018 short about a rural Tunisian family wracked with heartache once the eldest son returns home after fighting for Isis. Premiering in competition in Berlin, Joobeur’s feature debut “Who Do I Belong To” builds on the same premise and keeps the same cast, but the filmmaker does not see her latest film as an extension or reimagining.

Instead, “Who Do I Belong To” reframes the narrative around a more female perspective, focusing on the family matriarch Aisha (Salha Nasraoui) who is torn between relief, grief and guilt when only one of her two escaped sons comes home. What’s more, he returns with a pregnant Syrian bride, unspeaking and unsettled beneath a full-body niqab. The feature also works in new tones, playing with magical realism and full-blown horror to better explore the story’s darkest corners.

Meryam Joobeur’s “Motherhood,” Mo Harawe’s “The Village Next to Paradise” and Mia Bendrimia’s “The Magma” claimed a trio of post-production prizes at this year’s Atlas Workshops, which ran from Nov. 27 – 30 as part of the Marrakech Film Festival.

Winner of the top award, “Motherhood” walked away with a €30,000 post-production grant. Produced by Sarra Ben Hassan, the film builds on themes director Joobeur explored in her Oscar-nominated 2018 short “Brotherhood,” once again tracking family tensions when a young Isis combatant returns to his Tunisian home. With her feature debut, Joobeur will now explore the story through a lens of maternal guilt, incorporating touches of magical realism and psychological horror for good measure.

Set for delivery early next year, the film is touted for a splashy festival launch.

In fact, Joobeur had already left Marrakech and was already headed back into the rush of post-production by the time the prizes...

The three prizes for films in post-production went to Meryam Joobeur’s Motherhood, Mo Harawe’s The Village Next To Paradise and Mia Bendrimia’s The Magma.

The Marrakech Film Festival’s sixth Atlas Workshops kicks off today under the fresh curation of former indie film sales agent and publicist Hédi Zardi.

Running November 27 to 30 in a rambling riad on the outskirts of Marrakech, the project and talent incubator is showcasing 25 projects hailing from Mena and Africa, 16 in development and another nine in production or post-production.

Zardi is best known on the market and festival circuit as the former co-founding head of Paris-based sales banner Luxbox, which he created in 2015 with Fiorella Moretti who continues to run the company.

Together, the pair launched a raft of buzzy festival titles on the market, brokering deals to Ava DuVernay‘s Array for Isabel Sandoval’s trans migrant drama Lingua Franca, Oscilloscope Laboratories for Costa Rican Oscar entry Clara Sola by Nathalie Alvarez Mesen, and KimStim for Suzanne Lindon’s coming-of-age debut feature Spring Blossom.

After eight years on the sales circuit,...

After thinking Motherhood might drop at a major film festival in 2023, we are now inclined to think that Meryam Joobeur might actually go back to the Sundance family who helped back the project. The Tunisian-American filmmaker’s breakout short Brotherhood premiered at the fest, and Motherhood received support via the Sundance Screenwriters’ Lab (2021) — it also landed the Sundance Institute/Nhk Award. Production took place in Tunisia in 2022. It is now heading to the Marrakech Film Festival’s Atlas Ateliers for films in production (or post).

Tunisian Youssef Chebbi’s “Plague,” Moroccan Adnane Baraka’s “We Don’t Forget” and Meryam Joobeur’s “Motherhood” feature among buzz titles at this year’s Marrakech Festival Atlas Workshops, which will have Martin Scorsese as their official patron.

Consolidated as a key platform for Moroccan, Arab and African projects and pix in production made by a new generation of filmmakers and created by Marrakech Festival artistic director Remi Bonhomme, the Atlas Workshops unspool Nov. 27-30. They take place alongside the 20th edition of the Marrakech International Film Festival, which runs from Nov. 24-Dec. 2.

In a definite potential highlight of the Atlas Workshops, Meryjam Joubeur, whose “Brotherhood” was Oscar nominated for best live action short, will present 10 minutes of “Motherhood,” one of the awaited feature debuts of 2023. It is sure to spark major festival interest.

“Plague” marks Chebbi’s second feature after acclaimed Cannes Directors’ Fortnight genre blender “Ashkal: The Tunisian Investigation,...

Projects come from 11 different countries across the Arab world and African continent.

The Atlas Workshops, the industry platform of the Marrakech International Film Festival, has unveiled 25 projects for its sixth edition, which runs from November 27-30.

Atlas Workshops has lined up 16 projects in development and nine films in production or post-production from 11 countries across the Arab world and African continent.

The line-up includes projects from Tunisian directors Youssef Chebbi and Erige Sehiri. Chebbi’s feature Ashkal played in Directors’ Fortnight at Cannes last year, as did Sehiri’s Under The Fig Trees.

The Marrakech International Film Festival has unveiled the 25 projects selected for the sixth edition of its industry-focused Atlas Workshops, aimed at nurturing emerging Moroccan, Arab and African talent.

Running from November 27 to 30, the event will present 16 projects in development and nine films in production or post-production from 11 countries, selected from among the 320 applications received from the Arab world and African continent.

In a reflection of the growing diversity of the stories being told by Arab and African independent filmmakers, the selection spans a diverse range of film genres, from Lebanese director Sandra Tabet’s horror picture Rabies to Moroccan filmmaker Hind Bensari’s humanist documentary Out of School and Adnane Baraka’s poetic work We Don’t Forget.

Moroccan filmmaker Baraka made waves with his documentary Fragments from Heaven, about a nomad living in a tent in a remote part of Morocco who goes in search of meteorite fragments to boost the family fortunes.

Rome’s Mia market dedicated to international TV series, animation, feature films, and documentaries is set to feature a panoply of 62 projects from 36 countries for its upcoming 9th edition.

Though European content remains the core of the curated pre-Mipcom event that will run Oct. 9-13 in the central Rome’s Palazzo Barberini – which besides being Italy’s National Ancient Art gallery, is also the market’s main hub – organisers on Thursday announced that this year more than 500 entries were submitted from 80 countries which they said marks a 30% increase in terms of national provenance.

Mia (whose whose acronym stands for the Mercato Internazionale Audiovisivo or International Audiovisual Market) is headed by Gaia Tridente.

Standout projects that made the cut for Mia comprise groundbreaking Romanian animator Anca Damian’s “Motherhood,” described as a poetic journey into female body and desire, illustrated by Italian artist Virginia Mori and co-produced by French studio Miyu Productions...

Following the success of “Confessions”, a plethora of Kanae Minato's works have been adapted in both TV and cinema, with “Homecoming”, “ A Chorus of Angels”, “Penance” and “The Snow White Murder Case” being some of the most renowned. The latest one, “Motherhood” comes from 2012 novel “Bosei” and explores the theme of motherhood through the stories of three generations of women.

Motherhood is screening at New York Asian Film Festival

Sayaka, a highschool student, kills herself for reasons that are initially unknown, since she seems to have been living a pretty normal life until that point, having been raised with love by her mother, Rumiko. The narrative then switches to the past, starting with the story of the latter, before it presents Sayaka's own version of their life story. In that fashion, Rumiko was an art enthusiast who enrolled in art school, where she met Satoshi, with the two eventually getting married,...

After a hugely successful year for domestic films, Austria’s movie industry is looking forward to another impressive crop of titles, including many international co-productions that reflect not only cultural and historical ties with neighboring countries but also the sector’s strong cross-border partnerships.

Highly anticipated films this year include Hans Steinbichler’s “A Whole Life,” the story of a humble man’s existence in an Alpine valley that spans more than eight decades; Dieter Berner’s “Alma and Oskar,” which explores the passionate and tumultuous affair between Viennese composer and socialite Alma Mahler and artist Oskar Kokoschka in the early 1900s; and Timm Kröger’s “The Theory of Everything,” a black-and-white, 1960s-set mystery-thriller that takes place in a scientific conference in the Alps.

Forthcoming releases include works from established directors and young filmmakers, says Anne Laurent-Delage, executive director of promotional organization Austrian Films. This year’s strong showing follows...

Zurich-based Tellfilm, the Swiss outfit behind this year’s Golden Bear contender “Ingeborg Bachmann – Journey into the Desert,” has lined up a robust co-production slate, teaming with European partners on the psychological thriller “Motherhood” and the period drama “Gloria!,” while developing their first scripted series “How to Be Sad – The Right Way” with an eye towards global streamers.

Co-produced by Austria’s Freibeuter Film (“The Great Freedom”) and with Germany’s The Match Factory handling international sales, the Johanna Moder directed “Motherhood” will tackle maternal anxieties through the lens of a tense psychological thriller. Production is slated for later this year, with actors Marie Leuenberger and Hans Löw signed as leads. “The Square” star Claes Bang is attached as well.

Lensing this May, the musical drama “Gloria!” will tell a story of artistic liberation in Baroque-era Venice. Headed by Tempesta’s Carlo Cresto-Dina – whose Alice Rohrwacher short “Le Pupille” is...

Hulu has snagged rights to author Sheila Heti’s forthcoming book — one that’s written in alphabetical order.

The streamer has optioned The Alphabetical Diaries, in which Heti took a decade’s worth of diary entries and rearranged the sentences in alphabetical order, to develop as a series. After cutting “thousands of sentences” the exercise took on something more like a novel, she explained in the introduction to a series of New York Times columns that presented an abridged form of the work. The book is slated to be published in 2023 by Fsg in the United States, Fitzcarraldo Editions in the U.K. and Knopf Canada.

Hunting Lane, the production company behind HBO’s I Know This Much Is True and feature films Holler, Captain Fantastic and Blue Valentine, is behind the project. The company’s Jamie Patricof and Katie McNeill are producing.

Exclusive: Deadline hears that Quentin Tarantino is in early talks to direct one or two episodes of Justified: City Primeval, the FX limited series that reunites Timothy Olyphant with his six-gun as U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens. No one was commenting.

While most felt like Tarantino’s next turn behind the camera would be his final feature film, there is a lot of symmetry here. Tarantino and Olyphant worked together on the director’s most recent film, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. There also is the filmmaker’s devotion to Elmore Leonard, who created the Givens character. Tarantino adapted the Leonard novel Rum Punch into Jackie Brown. He optioned several Leonard titles during his career and has talked about possibly directing one of his Westerns, Forty Lashes Less One. The limited series is using as source material another Leonard title, the 1980 novel City Primeval: High Noon in Detroit, subbing...

Jason Reitman and Charlize Theron are bang on form in this bleakly funny tale about a mum and her new night nanny

There are certain truths about new motherhood that are unassailable. Things that lodge themselves in your psyche as permanently as the butternut squash stain on your last halfway decent T-shirt. The bone-deep exhaustion. The uneasy combination of anxiety and boredom. The pressure to bring sexy back when it feels like someone has driven a combine harvester through your nethers. All of which this latest collaboration between writer Diablo Cody and director Jason Reitman nails with harrowing accuracy.

It’s not exactly new territory. But what makes Tully such a tragicomic triumph compared with the brittle perkiness of films like I Don’t Know How She Does It (2011) and the god-awful Motherhood (2009) is that the film is not afraid to mine some pretty dark thematic territory.

The first thing we learn about Katherine Dieckmann’s “Strange Weather” is it’s set on the 88th consecutive day without rain in a tiny Georgia town. Plants are wilting; so are people. Everyone is hysterical and exhausted, and no one more so than Darcy Baylor (Holly Hunter). Crackling with the actress’ firecracker energy, early introductions to Darcy’s life make it clear that there are still plenty of secrets left to be told.

In her first feature since 2009’s “Motherhood,” Dieckmann’s film is the kind of showcase that many actresses over 40 would kill to get — but Hunter is made for it. Joined by recent Emmy nominee Carrie Coon as Byrd, her best friend, neighbor, and co-worker, “Strange Weather” is the sort of film that passes the Bechdel Test 20 times over, while also proving why the metric is so important in the first place. Made by and about women,...

Few film festivals in the world double as an acquisitions marketplace quite like the Toronto International Film Festival, which will screen more than 300 movies between September 8 and September 18. Most of these films have yet to land a U.S. distributor, and only a select group of titles will secure a distribution deal before the end of the fest.

Which movies are likely to be swarmed by buyers at Tiff 2016? Here are nine hot titles from the lineup that could be prime targets for acquisition execs.

“The Bad Batch”

Writer-director Ana Lily Amirpour’s follow-up to her hit debut “A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night” is billed as a “dystopian love story in a Texas wasteland.” The film follows a young girl named Samantha (Suki Waterhouse) who’s been banished from civilized society and ends up escaping from a community of cannibals. Produced by Megan Ellison’s Annapurna Pictures, the film stars Keanu Reeves,...

Emmy Rossum is set to make her directorial debut on Season 7 of “Shameless.” According to The Hollywood Reporter, the actress will be stepping behind the camera to helm the fourth episode in the upcoming season.

Rossum also stars on the Showtime series as Fiona Gallagher, the eldest child and family matriarch opposite William H. Macy, who portrays her father. Her episode is tentatively scheduled to air on Sunday, Oct. 23.

At the end of Season 6, Fiona and Sean (Dermot Mulroney) were on their way to get married until Frank (Macy) arrived and revealed that Sean was still using heroin.

Alexander O'Neal has dramatically quit the Celebrity Big Brother house following his most recent confrontation with Perez Hilton.

The showbiz blogger had been provoking the Us singer by intentionally coughing loudly by his bed in an attempt to wake him up. He later continued to antagonise O'Neal by following him around the house, smiling and blowing kisses provocatively.

O'Neal retaliated by using a homophobic slur to describe Hilton, which prompted a formal warning by Big Brother. But the pair clashed again after Hilton taunted him by breathing over housemates' food.

While wholly unacceptable for such an offensive term to ever be used in any circumstance, O'Neal immediately showed remorse and regret for his ugly outburst.

Having watched the whole scene unfold, Hilton had been pushing for a reaction, continuing to intentionally aggravate the star - we're still not even sure why - to make him feel as uncomfortable as possible.

"Man is the measure of all things: of things which are, that they are, and of things which are not, that they are not." Protagoras, quoted in Plato's Theaetetus

"Both the motor and sensory homunculi usually appear as a small man superimposed over the top of the precentral or postcentral gyrus, for motor and sensory, respectively. The homunculus is oriented with feet medial and shoulders lateral on top of both the precentral and the postcentral gyrus (for both motor and sensory). The man's head is depicted upside down in relation to the rest of the body such that the forehead is closest to the shoulders. The lips, hands, feet and sex organs have more sensory neurons than other parts of the body, so the homunculus has correspondingly large lips, hands, feet, and genitals. The motor homunculus is very similar to the sensory homunculus, but differs in several ways.

We all know Beyoncé thinks that girls "Run The World." Now, the star will take to the stage for a global concert aimed at calling attention to women's empowerment issues worldwide.

The best-selling artist, who's apparently now putting a meaningful spin on the concept of world domination, will headline a June 1 concert at London’s Twickenham Stadium in support of Chime For Change, a campaign that raises funds and awareness for education, health and justice issues for women and girls across the globe.

Beyoncé, Salma Hayek Pinault and Gucci creative director Frida Giannini are all co-founders of the Chime For Change campaign and concert, which will be broadcast globally. Gucci will underwrite the ticket sales, directing proceeds to relevant nonprofits.

"Our goal is to call for change for girls and women in the loudest voice possible," Beyoncé said in a press release for the event, which was announced at a conference Tuesday morning.

New York — A decade after Dr. Mark Greene hung up his white lab coat for good on "ER," Anthony Edwards is back as the star of a new television series.

He plays Hank Galliston, a magazine publisher wrapped up in an historical mystery after his wife is kidnapped on ABC's "Zero Hour," which premieres Feb. 14 at 8 p.m. Est. The action thriller requires an audience to concentrate as the story unfolds layer by layer.

The road back to series television took Edwards many miles to travel – literally thousands upon thousands.

Edwards' character Greene was the heart of what was then television's most popular drama before the actor bowed out after eight years. Upon leaving, "I didn't really have a plan other than I knew I wasn't going to jump into a series again and I knew that I was really tired and burnt out," he said.

Professionally, maybe. Personally, Edwards had a clear strategy.

Motherhood changes everything.

That can be said for a handful of celebrity moms who would prefer to stay at home with their kids rather than be on set.

Although Angelina Jolie, Salma Hayek, Gwyneth Paltrow and more A-list actresses garnered huge success in the past, they're now happy living a life out of the spotlight -- and in their soccer mom minivans.

Rumor had it that Claire Danes, who gave birth to her first child, Cyrus, a few weeks ago, was leaving her Emmy award-winning role on "Homeland" behind to be at home with her growing family. But the actress shot down the reports when she admitted that she'd be "a lousy stay-at-home mom" and could never leave her career behind.

Here are some star mommies who could...
