I had the pleasure of seeing a film titled LA CASA DE LOS BABYS™ last Thursday evening, which stars 2 of my favourite actresses, MS. SUSAN LYNCH & MS. MARY STEENBURGEN, alongside people like MS. DARYL HANNAH, MS. MAGGIE GYLLENHAAL & MS. LILI TAYLOR, as well as MS. RITA MORENO.
MS. LYNCH & MS. STEENBURGEN alone would have been reason enough for me to crawl on broken glass to see this picture, but the supporting cast is stellar, a fact that is underlined by the fact that the story was told on a modest budget by current standards.
It’s not often that American films present such a wide variety of female beauty in a story, rarer still when the talent of the respective actresses in question is combined with such a challenging screenplay.
The story concerns the practise of young, unwed Mexican mothers being forced to give up their children for adoption by foreigners, something which is very meaningful to me because I was abducted away from my own adoptive family by blood relatives.
I recommend LA CASA DE LOS BABYS™ without hesitation to those of you who enjoy “chick flicks” as much as I do.
