Two people stubbornly crawled through a pile of shit, year after year, aging, changing, like a marathon... Sometimes when you've been together for a long time, you can't see the other person, but see a shadowy projection of yourself, no Instead of confiding in the other person, you start going the wrong way, behaving meanly, and making bad decisions.



This film makes you more and more determined. In fact, every Lala, no matter when she is young and frivolous, or when she is a middle-aged girl, has a gorgeous girlish heart. Even if you are old, you must insist on being an old girl.
From love at first sight to plain watery love and staying with each other is not so simple, not to mention this is a seemingly perfect and harmonious Lala (lesbian) family, some people say that it should be the same as Xu Anhua's "Lesbian" Dexian Fried Rice" is linked together, the former is a lover who has overcome all odds and finally fell in love, and each has an unborn child, and the latter is a marriage between two people, raising a child, knowing each other. The tragicomedy of ordinary family life is staged in this family as usual, the difference is that they also have a legendary sperm donor father, and it happens that this lonely sperm donor father hits the children and has a relationship with Julianne Moore. A straight and twisty extramarital affair. When the distressed old girl Bening had a complicated expression on Moore's hair in the sewers, it made her more painful and distressing than the ordinary trivial incident.
However, although this curious enough plot seems to be the highlight of the film, the film does not once emphasize this point. The highest level of gay movie performance is to make people forget that this is a gay movie, this is a pure love movie, the problem of children, boredom, and even betrayal caused by too blandness that all families have. Or it can be called a mid-life crisis drama about marriage. Although the genre makes people curious, the values ​​of marriage are traditional, which is not fundamentally different from traditional Hollywood mid-life crisis dramas.
"If you want a family, please go out and find it by yourself. This is our family!" "Father" Benin, the head of the family's words to the little three, hit the heart of this sperm donation father named Paul. He is used to How could a single Paul think that there are two lovely lives of himself in another place, as incredible as it may sound. The children's desire and freshness for male fathers also came to an abrupt end when they encountered rifts in the family. The heartbreak of "father" Benin and the overwhelm of "mother" Moore made the children confused, living in a family with two old girls. The children in the family couldn't afford it, Bening told his son, "I'd rather you be GAY, so at least your emotions will be more delicate."
So, we saw the close relationship between Bening and Moore, two wonderful acting talents. The perfect drama, neither of them are gay, but the interpretation of the married life of the two Lara is natural and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Moore, as the "mother", has a woman's peculiar scrupulousness, while Benin, as the "father", has strictness towards children and insists on and maintains the patriarchal power in the family. The moment Bening looked at Moore who was sleeping, and the moment when Bening held the hands of the children and wept like a girl after Moore apologized, that kind of warmth burst out immediately.
In addition, the lines of this film are too brilliant, and the surface is bland. In fact, every sentence is ironic. The hatred is in the soft needle, and the warmth is in the hatred.
It's no wonder that the last 15-year-old son Reese said, "I don't think the two of you should get a divorce. You're both so old."
Yes, they're so old.
