If you were to ask me if how I would feel about a relationship between me and my father's mistress I would say that I personally would not condone it. One must be very strong to be able to show compassion towards someone who has caused your family so much pain. But there she is - Beatrice in pain herself. Here are some things I liked about this film: Complex characters. Beatrice who's unhealthy lifestyle which may have contributed to her illness. From the beginning she is an unlikeable character. If someone like her were to come into my life I would have written her off at the drop of a hat. Somehow I was able to like her by the end. Then we have Claire sweet and full of nurture. The moment when she finds out that she's going to become a grandmother is precious.
The one moment I hated is the scene in the hospital where an injured mother arrives. Unfortunately the baby wasn't able to be resuscitated. All the birth scenes were apparently real and to see this was in my opinion in poor taste and quite traumatizing to see. I really wish I could unsee that scene.
