Acerca de esta película
Mothers and Daughters is a 2008 Canadian comedy-drama film, directed by Carl Bessai.
The film, an exploration of mother-daughter relationships, centres on a group of women in Vancouver. Micki is a romance novelist who has tried to relate to her daughter Rebecca as a friend and peer rather than as a mother; Brenda is a woman whose relationship with her daughter Kate is tested when her husband leaves her for another woman; Celine is a single house painter with no children, who has the opportunity to indulge her maternal instincts when her young client Cynthia needs assistance with her pregnancy. The characters and dialogue were developed by the actresses through an improvisational process.
At the 2008 Vancouver International Film Festival, the film won the audience award for Most Popular Canadian Film. Rose received a Genie Award nomination for Best Actress at the 30th Genie Awards.
Bessai went on to make two more films, Fathers & Sons and Sisters & Brothers, that used a similar process and structure to explore family dynamics.
