Blessed (out Sep 10) is a film which explores the different relationships that children have with their mothers. The first half focuses on the siblings and the second half focuses on the adults. I didn't know where it was going in the early stages but the ending is quite emotional and features a great performance from Aussie actress Frances O'Connor. A memorable film score also. Grade: B+.
