THE KIDS ARE ALL RIGHT

Last week I decided to go to the cinema alone. I really like doing that because nobody disturbs you while you are watching the film. I wasn’t sure what film to see, but finally I made my mind up and went to watch “the kids are all right”.

This film is about a family, a couple and their two children. This family is not the one which appears in all the movies, there’s a lesbian couple who got the two children –a girl, Joni, and a boy, Laser- by artificial insemination. Apparently this is a perfect family, but while the film is going on we can see that they have some problems.

The film starts when the family is having dinner to celebrate Joni’s 18th birthday. Because she’s 18 she can contact her father and Laser asks her to do that for him because he’s still a minor. Finally, they get in touch with him without telling anything to their mums.

This movie is directed by Lisa Cholodenko, and it has been nominated for four Oscars including best actress and best film. From my point of view this film is really funny, with a great story and also a great cast. But not enough to be nominated for the Oscars.
