- Quotes
Bridget: What if I was one of those moms who went crazy, and drowned her kids in a bathtub?
Carol: Those are the extreme cases. It usually doesn't get that far. When you were a baby and you screamed and screamed, and there was nothing I could do to get you to stop, I'd imagine taking you by the ankles, and swinging your little head into the head into the wall over and over until it was a bloody pulp.
Bridget: Oh, my God.
Carol: But then I'd feel so guilty from imagining it, I wouldn't actually do it.
Bridget: I don't know that you should tell that story.
Carol: It's the truth and women should talk about it more often. Wouldn't be as lonely.

Thoughtful and well done. Yes contains lesbian moms and an abortion but those felt secondary to the story of feeling aimless at 34. There are so many movies where we are asked to take men's emotions and lives and bodily functions as worthy of film and I didn't know that I was missing the same for women until I saw this film.
Laughed and cried. Two thumbs up, well worth the time.
