Movie Review by Phil & Carol
Phil - Must See Now!Carol - Must See Now!
Complex, funny, serious. Subtle, well acted and engaging. In other words, a very good "art house" film. Interestingly highlights the similarities in all marriages, whether among heterosexual or gay couples. Put 2 actresses together who have each been nominated numerous times (but never won) in a very well scripted film and you have a winner. Annette Bening and Julianne Moore combine as the Moms in this family drama about a “non-traditional” marriage that shows ALL families have the same issues with love, emotionalism, ups and downs.
