The ensemble drama MOTHER AND CHILD looks incredibly depressing. Just judging by the trailer, I felt like jumping off a cliff halfway through it. The film is about several different women and their experiences as a mother, whether it be trying to have a kid and not being able to, giving the kid up for adoption or getting pregnant from a stranger. The cast is pretty impressive and includes Naomi Watts, Samuel L. Jackson, Annette Bening, Jimmy Smits, Amy Brenneman, Carla Gallo, David Morse, Marc Blucas and Kerry Washington. Rodrigo Garcia is directing from a script he also wrote. The film hits theaters on May 7th.
