The Kids Are All Right (2010)

2012-07-29

Julianne Moore and Annette Bening give incredible performances in superbly-directed movie where they play lesbian mothers whose lives are to be challenged by a stranger... sperm donor of their kids, also played well by Mark Ruffalo. The issue is that he's made so kool that he's not believable, and the contention he presents feels forced. It's an excellent premise, and interesttingly one that I haven't seen explored before, but the makers just didn't know where to take the story. I also don't know what the point of it all is and it leaves a few questions open.
