MOVIE - Mother and Child

A beautifully woven beautiful story..."not the soppy melodrama you might expect"

This was good. Totally held my attention. Three different stories that are really all entwined and come completely together long before the end. A mother who gives up her baby at 14; a daughter who never knew her mother and is now, in her 30's, alone, by choice, and pregnant herself; and a woman who desperately wants a baby and is trying to adopt. Great acting. Wonderful storytelling.
