regard a another one of the recent over the top drama bring upon u by hollywood and this movie excel where others have totally fail ( especially consider the most underrated performance in recent dramatic character portrayal by that of natalie portman ) and this film be almost unanimously drive by the chemistry that both susan and natalie share . they seem to be so natural during the movie that you would mistake them for a real family . they go through so many mother daughter conflict in the story it kind of hard not to pick up on their acting ability . i feel that these two actress talented performance pick up where the story be lack and almost too familiar ( full of cliche ) and really save the suffering plot . i would recommend this movie mainly to those who like either of the two actress or such over the top drama .
