Mom, I've grown up

It tells about a woman from wanting to get rid of her mother's control to reaching a reconciliation with her mother. The way of reconciliation is to face her own mistakes bravely, get out of the pain of losing her daughter, and finally have a happy ending, emmm...

The heroine is stubborn to give birth at home, and the reason given later is to let the child come to the world in her own way, which shows that she is fighting against her mother in this way, and marrying a husband from a different class who does not like her mother. It also implies resistance.

If it is said that the mother-daughter confrontation is the core, but only a few scenes have been taken lightly, a lot of effort is put into the class difference of the husband and wife - the male protagonist does not understand the sadness of the female protagonist and stands on the mother's side, and the two cannot heal each other. For the wound, the male protagonist can only find a little physical comfort from the lawyer. It seems that he also numbs himself through alcoholism and drugs, and finally takes the money and leaves. The cultural difference is slightly brought, but it is not clear, but the image of the husband is still very vague. The confrontation between mother and daughter at the family gathering should be regarded as the lowest point of the plot. The victory of the mother and the departure of the male protagonist are all a blow to the female protagonist, but there is not much performance;

Well, the previous depression was over, and it finally reached the climax, but it didn't lift up. The court spoke to thank the midwife, but said nothing about his stubbornness, so he reconciled with his mother? Previous news reports showed that the social impact of the case was great, so is this resolved? As long as you are honest with yourself, everything will be ok? If this is the case, then life will not have so many difficulties, and human nature will not be so complicated and profound. As a film nominated for the main competition, it is really lacking, but simply speaking, it is still worth watching.

    92/100. I knew earlier that this movie started with a tragedy, but under the presentation of the long shot, there is still strong oppression and pain, which is to be expected. But what surprised me even more was that the second half of the film didn't have much of the bitterness and bitterness and needle-pointing Maimang that I imagined, but described how the heroine picked up the pieces of her life in a calm and unbelievable way. The story, handled in a slow rhythm, is like the tug-of-war between us who have been knocked down in life, and it is real and touching. Vanessa Kirby's performance is also not as dominant as expected, but with her not too forceful but highly infectious face, she perfectly interprets a woman who gradually learns to reconcile with the world after encountering a thunderbolt. . Whether it is the cowardly husband, the strong mother or the gossip stranger, they are just passing by. When she puts down everything and chooses the path she believes in, she has already propped up a future for herself. Like Boston in spring, just like the lush apple tree after germination and sowing, ordinary but great.

    In Wald's words: "They forgot to prepare for sweat." The absence of "sweat" permeates the entire film, and when I look back at the poster's face with erect lashes, clean lips, and flawless foundation, she's just the right amount of light. Open mouth, eyes full of desire and confusion, I feel that this script and performance is a joke, the joke is that women must smile at the end of the story. What are the fragments of a woman? Be a daughter, be a mother, be a wife, be a colleague, be a sister, be a mistress, be a plaintiff, be a defendant, be a defender—every role is a loser.
