THE KIDS ARE ALL RIGHT
USA/France
2010
105 minutes
A Los Angeles lesbian couple with two teenage children conceived by artificial insemination are flabbergasted when the kids seek the original sperm donor. Standard family comedy with a clever sex twist; neither as funny nor as groundbreaking as everyone seems to make it out to be, but with performances so good they're worth alone the price of admission.
Starring Annette Bening, Julianne Moore, Mark Ruffalo; Mia Wasikowska; and Josh Hutcherson.
Directed by Lisa Cholodenko; produced by Gary Gilbert, Jeffrey Levy-Hinte, Celine Rattray, Jordan Horowitz, Daniela Taplin Lundberg, Philippe Hellmann; written by Ms. Cholodenko, Stuart Blumberg; music by Carter Burwell; director of photography (Technicolor), Igor Jadue-Lillo; production designer, Julie Berghoff; costume designer, Mary Claire Hannan; film editor, Jeffrey M. Werner.
A UGC PH/Gilbert Films presentation, in association with Saint Aire Productions, Artist International and 10th Hole Productions, of an Antidote International Films/Mandalay Vision/Gilbert Films production. (US distributor, Focus Features. World sales, Inferno.)
Screened: distributor advance press screening, Castello Lopes screening room (Lisbon), November 2nd 2010.
