It was the movie I chose, to celebrate Mother's Day this year. I remember not enjoying it a lot, the first time I saw it. But maybe I was too young to appreciate it back then. Now I see it for what it is. A very good ensemble cast movie, with wonderful actresses and subtle writing. I still think it sort of loses steam, around the third story, and Christine's segment is my least favorite part of the movie. Which is unexpected, because I'm a big fan of Ally McBeal, and esotericism. But the acting is still very accurate, there. Concerning the movie in general, I love how the pieces are put together, without forcing it. Or the way very different characters are portrayed, without being too antagonistic towards each other. Or don't define themselves through their peculiarities. It was about life and people being people, all the while having something special to tell. And it's a thing that's missing a lot in movies these days.
