Comedy starring Uma Thurman. Frazzled Manhattan housewife and mother-of-two Eliza Welsh (Thurman) is having a bad day. On top of the usual frantic round of getting her six-year-old daughter Clara (Daisy tahan) off to school, the dog walked and her young son to the park, she must organise Clara's birthday party and finish a 500-word article for a magazine - as well as trying to 'be there' for her busy husband and emotionally needy friends. Add to that her car getting towed and various other mishaps, and Eliza is soon reduced to emotional rubble. Can she pull herself together in time to make Clara's birthday party memorable for all the right reasons?

Preview Networks
From writer/director Katherine Dieckmann, the acclaimed filmmaker of DIGGERS and A GOOD BABY, comes MOTHERHOOD, starring Uma Thurman, Anthony Edwards and Minnie Driver. Shot entirely on location in New Yorks West Village, this bittersweet comedy distills the dilemmas of the maternal state (marriage, work, self, and not necessarily in that order) into the trials and tribulations of one pivotal day. Equal parts Mrs. Dalloway and Curb Your Enthusiasm, MOTHERHOOD forms a genre of one no other movie has dedicated itself in quite this way to probing exactly what it takes to be a mother, with both wry humor and an acute sense of authenticity.
