Motherhood

Starring: Uma Thurman, Anthony Avery and Minnie Driver
Drama (Rated PG 13)


A stressed out frustrated mother of 2 who splits time with her husband between two rent controlled apartments in New York ponders the meaning of Motherhood as she tries to find time in her busy schedule to write an essay about that topic to enter into a contest. She is a stay at home mom who obviously loves her children but also mourns the loss of putting her dreams on hold and feels conflicted about how her life has turned out.

• This movie does a good job of showing the reality of being a mother. You are supposed to love it and it's supposed to be the most fulflling thing in the world but sometimes at the expense of yourself which seems to be the way it's supposed to be.
• Thurman does an excellent job as usual. I am used to seeing her play a glamorous or beautiful professional type lately so it was interesting to see her playing such a "drab" role.
• The movie was a little slow at times.
