Full Plot Details

Seeing a way to reassert control over her adult son's life when he faces manslaughter charges, an affluent Romanian woman sets out on a campaign of emotional and social manipulation to keep him out of prison, navigating the waters of power, corruption and influence. Child's Pose is based on the sense of loss of parents who have to send their children away-physically and psychologically. The parent-child relationship is re-assessed through a son in his 30s that wants to escape from his mother, who in turn wants to keep her adult son by her side. The mother's character is quite familiar, but this film is unique in that the director delicately portrays how the controlling mother wants to deny that her son is destined to leave her by following the characters' emotional flows and gazing at their twisted desires. Luminita Gheorghiu turns in an extraordinary performance in playing a mother struggling to "save" her son. Heading to the conclusion, the film shows that the unhealthy mother-son relationship is not that simple when it comes to matters of humane duty.

Movie Reviews

San Francisco Chronicle - 10/10 by David LewisNetzer crafts not only a chilling story of family dysfunction, but also an illuminating look into the corruption and decay of the Romanian bourgeoisie - without ever overplaying his hand. It all appears so effortless, when in fact it's so skillful.
AwardsCircuit.com - 10/10 by Terence JohnsonBy the time Child's Pose ended all I could do was say "Man, that was a great movie."
Gay City News - 9/10 by Steve EricksonFrom a beginning that merely sketches the outlines of Cornelia's upper-class existence - she could be a contender for "The Real Housewives of Bucharest" - "Child's Pose" takes on more emotional substance as it develops.
ABC Radio Brisbane - 9/10 by Matthew ToomeyExploring morality and forgiveness, mixed with a curious family dynamic, Child's Pose is an involving piece of cinema.
At the Movies (Australia) - 9/10 by Margaret PomeranzWhat is so fine about this film is that Cornelia is depicted with subtlety, much of that due to the fine performance of Luminita Gheorghui.
Oregonian - 9/10 by Jeff BakerThrow in an unbearably gloomy plot involving overbearing or grieving parents and a pointed commentary on the corrupt, classist nature of modern Romania, and you're in for a downbeat evening. "The Lego Movie," this isn't.
New York Times - 9/10 by Manohla DargisIt’s too bad that the filmmakers don’t allow an occasional breath of air into the sepulchral proceedings or ease up on the increasingly heavy-handed lessons.
Philadelphia Inquirer - 9/10 by Steven ReaA dark piece of neorealism - and a searing indictment of Eastern Europe's newly moneyed classes ...
Washington Post - 9/10 by Ann HornadayA fascinating, troubling and finally controversial portrait of maternal anxiety at its most smotheringly neurotic.
Blu-ray.com - 9/10 by Brian OrndorfRaw and frighteningly authentic, the feature has a causal immorality that's fascinating to watch unfold.
