Review of Mother and Child (2009) by Linda H — 04 Jun 2010
Sensitive, passionate, disturbing, thought-provoking... An outstanidng cast with some memorable performances. Jimmy Smits brings gentleness, Samuel Jackson is sexy, Naomi Watts brings multiple layers to an intriguing character & Annette Bening shines.
VERY disturbing is a MAJOR continuity glitch that jumps out like a sore thumb. A 20-year old woman is 6 months pregnant as we 1st meet this complicated cast of characters. The 37-year old (Namoi Watts) is getting a new job; has a brief affair with her boss (Samuel L. Jackson); sees a doctor when she is 1-month late... 9 months later she & the 20-year old deliver on the same day! What is wrong with this timeline? Hmmm.... I can't believe that no one in production figured this out.
