LEGENDARY FILM
What a film I was on the edge of my seat the whole way through I don't think I've ever seen a film like it , love the huge part Joe played in it and Dave boy as an ex gangster myself it's nice to see gangsters in this film playing roles in a drama for a change .
Clarkey did a lovely job as the cheeky chappie and Sarah smashed it as lead actress in her role as Mandy this woman is a future Oscar winner I could not take my eyes off her.
Lovely to see Paul acting in it and Christian Davidson editing what a great team of talent all of them legends in the film game it's a top film.

Love it love it what a brilliant movie. I can't act but if I could I would want to be in this movie. Really well put together with a great plot. A definite watch if you are looking for a really good movie.
Swaylee has done an incredible job here to his credit. In both the direction and acting this has been carried out incredibly well. Thought encouraging scenes play out with regularity, every character has their place and a clear role to play in the story being told about adoption and family separation.
Deals with real life issues in confident and connecting style. The impressive talent of the up and coming actors in this film shines through in many moments. Considering the lower budget end it has a close to Hollywood feeling, all credit to the cast, crew and writers. Worth watching many times over!

Mother's Child is an interesting, thought-provoking movie. It contains great acting from the main characters especially. Mother's Child has an original story-line and it is very moving. I would recommend this film to anyone! I like how down-to-Earth and realistic the characters and the plot are and I like the way it has been filmed. I also liked how the subject matter challenges its viewers. You get very emotionally involved in the story and captured by the suffering of the characters. Mother's Child has important themes that capture the audience. If you're looking for an interesting movie, go and watch this film!!
