(Last night Focus Features and Native Foods had the exclusives previews to this film and many Native Foods fans attended the private screening.....here's one fan's review)
The Kids Are All Right is a film, a story, and a cinematic web of characters as flawed and layered as are our very own family members. This is a cohesive quality piece of work that draws the viewer into one non-traditional family’s world wrought with traditional issues of good people struggling with their individuality and transition into the next stage of life. The lives and relationships of married lesbian couple Nic (Annette Bening) and Jules (Julianne Moore) and their two teenage kids: new high school graduate Joni (Mia Wasikowska) and 15-year old Laser (Josh Hucherson) are forever altered when restless and curious Laser convinces Joni to seek out their sperm donor. Thus enters Mark Raffalo (another amazing job done) and the entanglements we weave called life pick up real steam.
Director & co-writer Lisa Cholodenko has done one incredible job navigating the complicated waters of this complex mix of characters and relationships and has guided the talent of every performer to rise to the occasion with sensitive, energized intelligent in depth portrayals. This is the stuff that Oscars were created to honor. Annette Bening skillful performance as Nic, the caring but gruff authority figure in the film and family is so powerful the audience is empathetic even more than sympathetic to her and her families trials and tribulations.
If you are a parent, be prudent in previewing this film before viewing with your children. The sex scenes are as potent as the rest of the film and may be more graphic and revealing than you want to share with your youths. While it may provide some less than comfortable viewing moments together it is far outweighed by the honest and real relationships handled so artistically in this rich theatre experience in which right is right, wrong is wrong, good people and good families are what counts most in life no matter how human we allow ourselves to be. All said and done, the kids ARE all right.
