Now out: a trailer for Sundance film The Kids Are All Right, starring Julianne Moore and Annette Bening as lesbian moms whose kids decide to go in search of their sperm donor (Mark Ruffalo). My initial thoughts: Moore and Bening make a great couple, but just once I want to see lesbian moms on screen when the plotline doesn’t revolve around anything related to sperm. Still, a lengthy Salon review made it seem deeper than just that, so I’m willing to give it the benefit of the doubt. Salon claims, “‘The Kids Are All Right’ ranks with the most compelling portraits of an American marriage, regardless of sexuality, in film history.” Also, thank heavens that someone in this day and age knows to spell “all right” as two words. What are your first thoughts?
