Continue readingMovies to Make You Cry on Mother’s Day!!!!
The best movie, I really truly think, is the one I will be reviewing on Sunday, Pari. It gets at the pain and sacrifice and terror of motherhood in a really visceral way. But these are all good too, if you want to sob and sob about the misery of being a mother.

TGIF: What Is More Important Than the Bond Between a Boy and His Mother?
Mothers and sons, that’s appealing, right? Depending on which side of it you are. If you are the daughter-in-law, it may incite crazed flashbacks of “JUST TELL HER WE AREN’T COMING FOR THANKSGIVING!!!

English/Vinglish: A Movie in Which a Mother Can Be Other Things Too, But Chooses Not To
Happy Mother’s Day! I could post something about Mother India or Aradhana or English Babu Desi Mem, one of those where the mother-son relationship is super important.
