That was an excellent one.

Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

I love how Jules stand in front of the TV and say what she wanna say for Nic and the families; it's so real and satisfying to look at someone who did wrong and hurt her families; being brave and confessed why she did wrong and the reason was so true that when we stayed in a relationship for too long, it's easy to hurt the one you loved the most, to feel being loved and let the one to feel how painful or torturing your loved one gave you (even the love remains unchanged, it just like what jules said: just two people slogging through the shit, year after year, getting older, changing.)Great writer and director, turning some daily life events into an interesting story line, with no muss and no fuss, no dragging on any story line. And seriously, all of the main actresses and actors deserved the prize of their years for this movie already.A little late, but I'm still glad to have the opportunity to watch this movie tonight.

Nic is an OBGYN, (Annette Bening) married to Jules, (Julianne Moore) a stay at home wife flirting with starting a landscape business. Both of the women have given birth to a child provided by the same sperm donor. Underage son Laser, (Josh Hutcherson) wants to know more about his biological father and convinces his 18 year old sister to find out who their father is.Unbeknownst to Nic and Jules, the brother and sister meet their biological Dad (Mark Ruffalo) and being seeing him. Eventually the two Moms find out and decide they should all get to know each other a little better. This is where I think the film falls a bit short, great actors, good script idea, but the ending was a bit to Pollyanna. Still, it does bring up some interesting thoughts and if you like Bening, Moore, or Ruffalo it's still worth the watch.

Lesbian couple Nic (Annette Bening) and Jules (Julianne Moore) has two teens. Nic is the doctor, and Jules struggles to start a landscaping design business. None of Jules' ideas seem to work out. Joni (Mia Wasikowska) is Nic's, 18, and going to college. Laser (Josh Hutcherson) is Jules', and 15. They both are from the same sperm donor. Laser convinces Joni to contact the donor, Paul Hatfield (Mark Ruffalo), who runs an organic food restaurant.These are five great performances. Each one is perfectly calibrated. The family seems lived in. Each connection has great specificity and they are well influenced by the newcomer. The movie has a light, fun, awkward tone. It goes for light wit rather than big laughs. The entire cast is worthy of a reward.

The Kids Are All Right (2010): Dir: Lisa Cholodenko / Cast: Julianne Moore, Annette Bening, Mark Ruffalo, Josh Hutcherson, Mia Wasikowska: Dramatic comedy about dealing with issues regarding family and origins. Annette Bening and Julianne Moore play a lesbian couple who have a son and daughter due to a sperm donor. When they get in touch with him it creates expected problems. Bening and Moore are a terrific combination but their reactions to the donor are predictable. Their contrast with Ruffalo is opposites in terms of their reactions to him. Bening struggles to accept him and Moore ends up sleeping with him. This also creates tension between Bening and her children whom view her as being too strict. Moore assists Mark Ruffalo in his backyard seeing that she has an eye for vegetation. Mark Ruffalo plays the donor who works with organic foods. He claims no regrets to being a sperm donor but must accept the rejection he will eventually face. Mia Wasikowska and Josh Hutcherson play the teen children with issues of their own. Wasikowska is forbidden to ride on a motorcycle while Hutcherson must confront his best friend with regards to his reckless behaviour and blatant disrespect for people and property. Both are willing to accept their donor father until complications set in. Dealing with the fact that their guardians are lesbian creates an element of differentiation amongst peers. Observant edge by director Lisa Cholodenko with fine photography payoff a message regarding family dysfunctions and pulling through. Score: 8 / 10
