I did quite like this film. It was not full of some over the top drama or illogical romance I'm so used to seeing in Hollywood films. This one was more believable and relatable. Susan Sarandon was a joy to watch. There was never a dull moment with her. I didn't take much of a liking to Rose Byrne's character though. She came off as some vapid over-worked brat who was irritating to watch.
And while the film is supposedly about an overbearing mother incessantly meddling with her daughter's life, what the film actually focused on was the journey of the mother coming to terms with her late husband's death and her courage in letting go in order to be happy in life again. It wasn't really much about the daughter at all, so that's a bit confusing.
Overall, it's a great film to relax to.
