Sony Pictures Home Entertainment has announced DVD ($28.95) and Blu-ray ($38.96) releases of Mother and Child Blu-ray for December 14th. Extras will include deleted scenes, and 2 featurettes. Nine Lives director Rodrigo García explores the maternal instinct in Mother and Child through three disparate L.A. women: Karen, a physical therapist, cares for her ailing mother; Elizabeth works as a high-powered attorney; and Lucy, a bakery owner, plans to adopt .An opening sequence reveals that Karen, who became pregnant at 14, gave Elizabeth up for adoption. Though the daughter has no desire to track down the mother, Karen has been mourning her loss for decades, never working up the nerve to take the next step. All three turn to the same adoption agency. When Karen yields to the advances of a kindly divorc and Elizabeth, who's been sleeping with her boss and her married neighbor, finds herself with child, their feelings of anger and resentment start to melt. Lucy, meanwhile, has been meeting with a prickly expectant mother who may hold the key to her happiness assuming that a baby will solve all life's problems. García clearly venerates motherhood, but he doesn't let any of his characters off the hook: Karen can be cruel, Elizabeth can be cold, and Lucy can be whiny, but they overcome their lesser natures. There are a few missteps, like a soft-focus montage toward the end, but García manages a sprawling cast with finesse, and his gifted leads have rarely been better.
