Review of The Second Mother (2015) by Danipp — 04 Sep 2015
What a touching movie about equality, love and family. We have a mother who leaves her young daughter in order to get a better life in another city and ends up becoming the mother of another child. At the same time, we have a mother who wants to giver her son the best life possible but doesn't care enough to spend time with him.
A few years later, the estranged daughter comes to visit and change everyone's lives. Very dramatic but with a delightful touch of humor by Casé, The Second Mother explores issues such as family and society.
Should we put our jobs at first or our children? Are we giving enough love and attention to our family? Should we treat people according to their social status? This might be obvious for many people but most of all have already done something that we might criticize.
Barbara misses attention from her son but she didn't give him any when he needed. Val created a boy that wasn't hers but left her biological one in her hometown. The film raises a very interesting discussion about these subjects and it's well worth watching it.
Strong performances, especially by Casé, and a deep analysis about our lives.
