There is some excellent acting and very realistic dialog from this interesting and involving movie about mothers and daughters and adoption. The dividing lines between race and blood ties are explored here. This is an intense and human drama.
Annette Benning delivers a great performance. She really got a bitter caustic expression perfectly. It is interesting to see the lovely Naomi Watts playing a damaged character.
After all the depressing things earlier I wish Naomi's character had lived and there could have been a reunion between mother and daughter.
Overall worth a watch for the great performances but feels a bit sad.
