This film is about three seemingly unconnected women, a middle aged woman who is bitter and critical, a young and successful lawyer and a black woman who is unable to conceive. They a are connected through the magic of motherhood.Though the title of the film gives the content of the film away, Mother and Child still has much surprises in store. The plot is very good, the film gets more emotional and captivating as the puzzle falls into place. It reminds viewers how unconditional motherly love is. All the main characters are very convincing and engrossing, making viewers care about them. This emotional intensity is augmented by the fact that this motherly love is in fact all around us, we only have to open our eyes and look closer.

This movie moved me. I'm a guy but this movie and the end just make me cry.I decided to watch this movie, because of HBO's director Rodrigo Garcia. And i'm thankful i did. It is so emotional i just wish HBO would make a drama series like this.Naomi Watts is one of the greatest actresses on earth i think. She is still amazing but to bad that Sandra Bullock wins an Oscar where Watts still waits for one.I also realize Annette Benning is an outstanding actress. I first watched her in American Beauty. The scenario is great, too. Garcia should make more movies that quality. If you like drama movies (especially if you're a mom) you should watch this. Please give this a nomination academy! 8.5/10

Wow, where do I begin? Well, let me say that I went to the screening after hearing a friend rant and rave about how good it is. Being of the dude species I said to myself it's another chick-flick, but since homegirl couldn't stop talking about how good it was I decided to check it out anyway.I'm thrilled to say that I am beyond happy that I did. This movie is the BOMB if you appreciate excellent acting, writing, directing and casting. I could go on and on but that's the bottom line.Well, I do have one more thought. I just hope and pray that come Oscar time - because "Mother and Child" is being released now (Spring, 2010) - that it will somehow not be overlooked.If you like excellent movie making of the drama variety, go see this film!
