Bening gives the best performance in the film.<\/p>\n<p>Continuing the trend of more exposure to LGBT issues, The Kids Are All Right tells of a same-sex-centered family dealing with real issues.<\/p>\n<p>Though not dark, the film is not light or played strictly for laughs. It is a family drama that shows how same-sex family units face problems like everyone else, and how they deal with them, never forgetting how much they love each other.<\/p>\n<p>The writing is intelligent, deeply layered, and rich. The acting is superb, and the characters are complex.<\/p>\n<p>The best scene is one where the entire family is eating dinner- suddenly the camera focuses on one person and goes in slow motion, the other voices become muffled and distant, and painful emotion is portrayed on one of the character&#8217;s faces as a revelation comes to the surface.<\/p>\n<p>Brilliant.<\/p>\n<p>Even the seemingly unimportant dialogue throughout the film is smart as it shows the bond of the family that cannot ultimately be broken.<\/p>\n<p>The Kids Are All Right (2010) is a worthwhile and compelling film.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Oscar Nominations:\u00a0<\/strong>Best Picture, Best Actress-Annette Bening, Best Supporting Actor-Mark Ruffalo, Best Original Screenplay<\/p>\n<p><strong>Independent Spirit Award Nominations: 1 win-<\/strong>Best Feature, Best Director-Lisa Cholodenko, Best Female Lead-Annette Bening, Best Supporting Male-Mark Ruffalo, Best Screenplay <strong>(won)<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Kids Are All Right-2010 Director Lisa Cholodenko Starring Julianne Moore, Annette Bening Scott&#8217;s Review #560 Reviewed December 24, 2016 Grade: A The Kids Are All Right is a fantastic film!
