Mothers and Daughters

I really wanted to like this movie because it's an important theme and "should" be an emotional journey but 30 minutes in and it's getting almost impossible for me to even want to finish watching it. There is no emotional depth, the actors (all of them) are just cold and distant (and not in an intentional way); it's just very poorly acted. I have yet to get to a scene where Susan Sarandon is in; so I'm hoping she is the saving grace as we all now she can deliver an emotional performance (Stepmom). But damn this is so poorly acted. It's such a shame because it could've been a great movie based on the story-line but the delivery is not there at all.

It sure took a while to ease into the movie. For you thinking what's going on and how does all of this connect..eventually you get with the flow of the movie and get the hang of it. It involves a couple families with mother and daughter problems and with the main woman ,Rigsby, you see how she makes her hard decision on whether or not to have a child on her own. Quite inspiring there. I actually quite enjoyed watching it with my mom. Very sweet and heartfelt, don't judge so harsh and quickly. Can be, for some, a 'tearjerker' so good idea to keep some tissues handy. Only 90 minutes long, don't judge at first site! Many people didn't finish watching this movie and so they rated it terribly.

This film tells the stories of several mothers and daughters, and the complicated relationships between them because of their various difficult circumstances.

Given the low ratings, I have not expected "Mothers and Daughters" to be so intensely touching. The stories include pregnancy, adoption, termination of pregnancy and being estranged from the mothers. Just about every possibility of motherhood is covered, and it does so brilliantly. There were many scenes that touched me deeply to the point of tears, such as the two heartfelt confessional monologues by the underwear designer, Susan Sarandon's heart melting speech and the whole subplot with Christina Ricci. I hope more people can watch it, and see how touching the stories are.

Don't bother, seriously. It was so bad. Nothing really happened. I have no idea how they roped Susan Sarandon into this movie

Film had some entertaining moments but not really much of a story. It has a lot of famous people that seemed like a waste of talent.
