I think I want to, but I want to know how much it will make me cry. (Mother of boys, quite emotional even on a good day.) I have my eye make-up to consider

Loved it. I couldn't stop thinking about it afterwards, maybe because I have a son.

I was underwhelmed with it as well. Kept waiting for the plot to pick up.

the exquisite ordinariness of the film that was outstanding
Any Fucker you said it perfectly.

I loved it and I cried but it's not a crying the whole way through sort of film.

I'm not going anywhere near it. I just know the vivid reminder of the passage of time will haunt me. I gave tiny children. Each day is racing away - I don't want to imagine them all grown up!!

I think it was that the boy,even at a young age, was on his own to learn and grow up. However involved you are as a mother they are at the mercy of the rest of the world. And yes it goes bloody fast. Sad

I watched it on my own when I was meant to be studying, when dh asked me how it was I couldn't describe it. I told him - nothing much happened, not like in normal films, but yet it was brilliant.
Yy to the ordinariness, it was just, life.
I love Patricia Arquette in anything, she's fab. Loved recognising her haircuts from the 'Medium' years. Grin

BreeVDKamp · 06/03/2015 14:34

Yeah, loved it! Loved the whole idea of shooting it over 12 or however many years.

MollyMaDurga · 06/03/2015 14:40

Hah, yes the 'Medium' hair!
I loved it, very moving and profound in the ordinariness. Not a mother myself but I looked after my sisters son in his teenage years after she died. Very easy to identify with the whole thing, story, people, shit happens, people move on. . Great movie. You might cry but really should see it.

Oh fgs I want to watch it again. Getting choked up here!
