About this movie

From director Rodrigo Garcia (Nine Lives) and executive producer Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu (Babel, 21 Grams), Mother and Child is a drama centered around three women whose paths will cross and change them forever: Karen (Bening) a reserved 50-year old nurse, who was forced to give up her daughter Elizabeth (Watts) for adoption 35 years ago; the daughter who's grown into a single-minded career woman; and Lucy (Washington), desperate to adopt a child of her own. A moving tale about forgiveness, the choices we make, the chances we miss, the opportunities we seize and the power of the unbreakable bond between a mother and child. 2009 Mother and Child Productions LLC

A sad story that's is too often true the what ifs, the always wondering . this story depicts a wont, too often that we are denied. although the movie is slow moving it shows the care that the crew put into telling this story in every minute a moving story of love, lose and what its is to be a mother and her child.
