The Kids Are All Right
With Annette Bening, Julianne Moore, and Mark Ruffalo. Directed by Lisa Cholodenko
Official Selection - 2010 Sundance Film Festival
Winner - Best Film - 2010 Berlin International Film Festival
Nic and Jules (three-time Academy Award nominee Bening and four-time Academy Award nominee Moore) are married and share a cozy suburban Southern California home with their teenage children, Joni and Laser (Mia Wasikowska and Josh Hutcherson). Nic and Jules gave birth to and raised their children, and built a family life for the four of them. As Joni prepares to leave for college, 15-year-old Laser presses her for a big favor. He wants Joni, now 18, to help him find their biological father; the two teenagers were conceived by donor insemination.
Against her better judgment, Joni honors her brother’s request and manages to make contact with “bio-dad” Paul (Ruffalo), an easygoing restaurateur. The kids find themselves drawn to the confirmed bachelor’s footloose style – especially in contrast to Nic, a principled doctor who has long established their house rules. As Paul comes into the lives of the forthright four, an unexpected new chapter begins for them as family ties are defined, re-defined, and then re-re-defined.
Praise for The Kids Are All Right has been effusive, with The New York Times calling the film “outrageously funny,” The Chicago Tribune dubbing it “a triumph” and The Los Angeles Times saying it is “funny, smart and overflowing with love.”
