Netflix Movie Review: Mother of the Bride

Netflix Movie Review: Mother of the Bride

North Indian winters, cold January month, birds have flown from the nest and mummy (that's me!) has lot of time on her hand besides her profession. I do full justice to title given by TOI Times of India " Radiologist by Day: Author by Night." I create time from my Literary and social work, to watch movies with good content. One such is "Mother of the Bride" on Netflix, I watched last evening. A romantic movie year of release 2024, duration: 1 hour 30 minutes. Brooke Shields, sensational beauty of her time is one of the producers. 

This movie as the name suggests is about relationship between a mother and her daughter Emma. Their emotions, after Emma gets engaged to be married to her boyfriend RJ. Its a light-heart romantic watch.

The best moments are from 57:20- 1:02:05 timings, a 4 minute 45 second scene which showcases both mother -daughter emotions. Daughter's feelings of insecurities about her mother always an edge up from her - in terms of looks, confidence, decision making etc. Her feelings of resentment towards her mother, mixed with love, hatred, and forgiveness. Mother's emotions are delicately handled too. One needs to watch this movie from 57:20 duration.

Bride's mother crisp speech to the newly- wed is straight from the heart (which every mother conveys) -

- Never give up on love. 

- Never give up on each other

- Never give up on happily ever after.

- Never one against other, always both         versus the situation.

I resonate immensely with never giving up on happily ever after, which I refer to as 'The family portrait frame ' which under all circumstances should be intact. All said and done , it's a good watch.

Love, Joojoo
