Review of Otherhood

Otherhood (2019)
Cute, relatable story with excellent acting!
14 December 2019
I think this is one of Netflix's better efforts at feature films. The story was well-written and supported, with perhaps a couple of weak spots (i.e. an explanation of the connection between Matthew & the woman his mom {Angela Basset's character} partied with at the club); the purpose of the second couple, I assume, sharing the brownstone where Paul lives with his partner). The actresses were a great cross-section of mothers who are also friends and have some who are close friends.

Is it an Oscar, award-winning film? No. Did it keep me engaged, interested, and eager to see how things turned out at the end? Absolutely, YES! It was a perfect break from the depressing/serious and/or thought-provoking documentaries I also watch regularly on Netflix.
