"Mother and Child", Rodrigo García (2010)

Excellent performances are hampered by some reactionary plot twists that overpowers the actors´efforts with the ideology of the writer-director.  García punishes the most interesting character with a fate straight out of religious allegories, killing the movie in the process. (2/5)

The following reviewer put my thoughts online when the movie was released, and I agree with his words:
