"The Mother"

After coming back from the Netherlands I couldn’t sleep, while flipping the channels I came across Roger Michell’s film “The Mother” with Anne Reid and Daniel Craig.
A very different, west London-set story from the director of Notting Hill, scripted by Hanif Kureishi, is a beautifly filmed piece of work that addresses the inner life of an unnoticed woman.
It's a very affecting film that makes you think about your own family relationships, the way we live and honesty of our feelings.
Disturbing but at the same time beautiful picture illustrated with great performances, atmospheric scenes of London and exquisite music.
