The Second Mother is a well put together film and it is beautifully acted. There is no wasted moment in the film and the story and direction are so well conceived. I do disagree that the film is a comedy, as I've seen it described and marketed as. This is really a very real and sincere story about the intersections of class and motherhood, which was quite powerful and often heartbreaking. I really commend everyone who worked on this film- it is so precise and poignant.
