I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.

... View MoreMy wife and I watched this movie on Netflix streaming and enjoyed it. I am a bit puzzled why it has such a low rating, but I see as of now 9% of the votes are "1" which cannot be supported in any analysis of the movie.In other words, it is a better movie than its current rating would suggest.As the title suggests it focuses on a variety of different types of mother-daughter relationships. And on a couple of women who find themselves pregnant and will soon be mothers, perhaps with daughters.This movie really has an all-star cast and they do very well. There aren't any simple issues with simple resolutions. A grown daughter seeking to meet her birth mother who gave her up for adoption as an infant. A grown woman who finds that he mother is really her grandmother. A woman who has to make a decision on keeping an unplanned pregnancy or get an abortion. And a couple of others.One mother-daughter pair are mother-daughter in real life. One married couple are married in real life with four children. Overall an interesting and well-presented set of stories, slices of life.
... View MoreIf the first 15 minutes doesn't do it for you, press eject. I kept watching because of the two good reviews. I thought I would get this great reward at the end for suffering. But that's all I did was suffer through a boring movie.There are several well noted actresses doing this D- movie. I don't think there is a more boring movie with this many good actresses in it. This movie belongs on the Lifetime channel, maybe. The writing is poor, the story line is barely breathing. Everything else is typical for a lifetime channel movie. I don't understand why there are good reviews for this movie. There is no special ending, no gotcha moment, it is wrong to have this many great actresses doing such a bad movie.
... View MoreThis film tells the stories of several mothers and daughters, and the complicated relationships between them because of their various difficult circumstances.Given the low ratings, I have not expected "Mothers and Daughters" to be so intensely touching. The stories include pregnancy, adoption, termination of pregnancy and being estranged from the mothers. Just about every possibility of motherhood is covered, and it does so brilliantly. There were many scenes that touched me deeply to the point of tears, such as the two heartfelt confessional monologues by the underwear designer, Susan Sarandon's heart melting speech and the whole subplot with Christina Ricci. I hope more people can watch it, and see how touching the stories are.
... View MoreIt's a fresh Comedy, cheering and entertaining. The plot is not original but inspired enough not to leave you disappointed: you'll be easily able to foresee what's coming next but this isn't exactly a pity, if you stop and think about it for a second, in this kind of flicks.The film doesn't offer any new or deep insight about maternal love: it just celebrates it and in doing so it leaves the impression that the story, in the end, is pointless.The overall design reminded me of 'Love Actually (2003)' with the remarkable difference that that movie was mainly about males (plus some beautiful women). Here is the opposite.
