I have noticed that a lot of the 2 and 3 star reviews in newspapers and mags are by men...duh!! My experience of watching this film was with my women friends; the reaction, from all, including myself, was intrigue, laughter, a few tears. I'm sorry, but there are so few films which really get their teeth (oops!) into what it's really like being a woman, mother or not. Loved it. 👍💕👍
