Trivia
During filming, Asia Vieira became very fond of Leonard Nimoy. While filming she had seen the ending of _Star Trek: The Wrath of Kahn (1982)_, and became very upset when she saw Spock had died. Being only six at the time, she thought it was Leonard Nimoy dying in the movie. The next day on the set she was very happy to find out that he was okay and it was just part of the movie. She ran over to him and gave him a big hug, and told him she was glad to see that he was better. See more »Soundtracks

Diane Keaton and Liam Neeson are great together, but the subject matter is hard to watch.
The points of view of the different characters are well presented. You can understand everyone's behavior and conclusions.
Would I have preferred a tidy, happy ending? Yes. But this movie doesn't take the easy way out. It tackles a difficult situation caused by "enlightened, progressive" thinking, and leaves you pondering. I so wanted to point out to the characters the early errors so the catastrophic ending could be avoided.
THE GOOD MOTHER presents one of the most honest portrayals of awakening female sexuality and committed love on film.
