Full Plot Details

Almost forty years ago, a young girl of fourteen has sex, gets pregnant, and gives her baby up for adoption. Fast-forwarding to the present day, we meet three very different women, each of whom struggles to maintain control of their lives. There's Elizabeth, a smart and successful lawyer who uses her body to her advantage. Any time she feels that she doesn't have the upper hand, and cannot control the situation, she uses her sex appeal - whether that be starting a romance with her boss when she suspects he is trying to start one himself, or finding some way to control her overly friendly neighbor and husband. Karen, meanwhile, is a bitter health care professional who obviously has a lot of heart but never shows it. She gave up a daughter at the age of fourteen (wonderfully shown rather than told, she is the young girl and mother of Elizabeth), and has never gotten over it - her bitterness inspiring her to lash out at everyone around her - even the gentle man at work who is undeniably drawn to her. Finally, Lucy is a woman who has failed to conceive with her husband, so she turns to adoption to make the family she desires.

Movie Reviews

Birmingham Post - 10/10 by Graham YoungThis film is sure to make all but the hardest-hearted shed tears.
Compuserve - 9/10 by Harvey S. KartenNot a single false note in this story of women's vulnerabilities, loneliness, seeking, disappointments, all brought about by the adoption conventions.
The Spectator - 9/10 by Deborah RossNever lives up to the performances and the first half, particularly, is conducted so methodically it all feels rather sedated and even dreary.
National Newspaper Publishers Association - 9/10 by Dwight BrownIn the wrong hands, this film could have been grating melodrama. Under Garcia's watchful eye, this is an ode to mothers and children who are lost but not forgotten.
TheMovieReport.com - 9/10 by Michael DequinaFor the first time in a very long while, Bening disappears into a character and turns in a performance that isn't about her shamelessly playing to the rafters to grab after Oscar.
Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 9/10 by Dennis SchwartzWhat's spot-on is the performances of the three lead actresses, Annette Bening, Naomi Watts and Kerry Washington.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) - 9/10 by Ken HankeThis is a movie well worth your time and attention.
Reeling Reviews - 9/10 by Robin Clifford...intelligent and aimed at a mature femme audience. In the end, it is all about closure.
Toronto Star - 9/10 by Greg QuillThat Garcia manages to spin three rich and complex yarns without ever losing hold of the main thread -- the deep and mysterious connections between mothers and daughters -- is evidence of a keen eye and an exceptionally curious mind.
ViewLondon - 8/10 by Matthew TurnerEmotionally engaging, sharply written and powerfully acted drama that commendably resists some of the expected clichés.
