Entertainment Reviews:
Each in their own way, they're women on the run in a film whose focus -- slowly and movingly -- shifts to capturing the cost of running too far too long. -- Grade: B
A.V. Club
3 stars out of 5 -- The four main actors are all on fine form, with Bening particularly strong as the permanently crabby singleton and Watts thoroughly convincing as a sexually promiscuous vixen.
Total Film
There are powerful moments and the cast is note-perfect.

The Coast (Halifax, Nova Scotia)
Never lives up to the performances and the first half, particularly, is conducted so methodically it all feels rather sedated and even dreary.

The Spectator
3 stars out of 4 -- [S]uperb performances add to the story's power....The story is best when focused on the threads linking the intricate tapestry of mothers and daughters.
USA Today
Rating: 3/5 --
What keeps the whole thing from toppling into an abyss of unwatchable TV drama histrionics is a pair of dynamite performances from Annette Bening and Naomi Watts.

Time Out
Think of Mother and Child as the flip side to the flippant Juno: This timely and at times gut-wrenching movie focuses on three women affected by adoption.

Product Description:
Writer/director Rodrigo García (NINE LIVES) teams with executive producer Alejandro González Iñárritu to craft this drama highlighting the powerful bond between mothers and daughters. It's been years since Karen (Annette Bening) gave her daughter, Elizabeth, up for adoption, and the decision to abandon her child has always haunted her. Upon meeting laid-back Paco (Jimmy Smits), Karen permits her anxiety and mistrust to get the best of her. On the surface it appears that Elizabeth (Naomi Watts) is none the worse for never knowing her biological mother; she's a fast-talking lawyer who's just landed a high-profile job at a firm fronted by Paul (Samuel L. Jackson), though her unsavory penchant for exploiting others is about to blow up in her face. Meanwhile, maternal-minded baker Lucy (Kerry Washington) longs to experience the joys of motherhood, eventually deciding that adoption is the best bet to start a family with her husband, Joseph (David Ramsey).
