Katherine Dieckmann’s laudable efforts should be acknowledged and appropriately appreciated for all the dedication that she had invested in the film “Motherhood”, a Uma Thurman drama. It is indeed a perfect packaging wherein the casting and the overall filming deserves some special scores. It is a rib tickling journey for all those who would like to laugh some issues away ,as they settle down on a couch, grabbing some corn to gobble up, in the multiplex theaters. As they say, Comedy is a different sphere of film making altogether and all the way through the making of this film Uma Thurman has evolved as a phenomenal humorist. She has used this film to uncover her raw talent to evoke humor in the audience.
Eliza Weich seems to be an ordinary mother, the run off the mill type, but you are forced to change your perspective of looking at Eliza when you get to see her multitasking skill that is put on display in the picture. Being a mom of two children ,Putting up with an absent minded person who happened to be her caring husband(Edwards),Writing up content in her own blog site, one can’t imagine how does she manages her time after being engrossed in work for the larger part of the day. These small elements constitute the magnificent multitasking skills within her. In order to expand this art, She goes beyond the brink by setting up a spectacular birthday party for her daughter who is six now and simultaneously hunting her always-eluding 2 year old mischief-monger son, administer the playing-field political affairs, walking a leaky dog and chasing a new line of business and at last recognizing the real preciousness in her life. She has certainly depicted an every emotion possible in a mother’s face.
“Motherhood” is a picture that emphasizes the highs and lows or delight and pain from a female parent’s perspective. at times uproarious but constantly stirring in its unearthing of what a woman has to undergo while getting the heavenly status of a mom.
