New comedy
Motherhood follows
Uma Thurman as mother and wife racing against the clock to prepare for her
daughter's sixth birthday party in the face of chaos.
From writer/director
Katherine Dieckmann, the acclaimed filmmaker of
Diggers and
A Good Baby, comes
Motherhood starring Uma Thurman, Anthony Edwards and Minnie Driver. Shot entirely
on location in New York's
West Village, this bittersweet comedy
distils the dilemmas of the
maternal state (marriage, work, self, and not necessarily in that order) into the
trials and tribulations of one
pivotal day.
Motherhood forms a genre of one - no other movie has
dedicated itself in quite this way to
probing exactly what it takes to be a
mother, with both
wry humour and an acute sense of
authenticity.
Eliza Welch (Thurman) is a former
fiction writer-turned-mom-blogger with her own site,
The Bjorn Identity. Putting her deeper
creative ambitions on hold to raise her
two children, Eliza lives and works in two rent-stabilised apartments in a walk-up
tenement building smack in the middle of an otherwise
upscale Greenwich Village. Eliza's good-natured but
absent-minded husband
(Edwards) seems tuned out to his
wife's conflicts, not to mention basic
domestic reality, while her
best friend Sheila (
Minnie Driver) understands this – and
Eliza – all too well.
Motherhood is a hymn to the
joys and sorrows of raising children, and the necessity of
not losing yourself in the process.
