DML Rating: ★★★★★★★☆☆☆ - good

"Bottom line is, marriage is hard. It's really f-in' hard. Just... just two people slogging through the shit, year after year, getting older, changing. It's a f-ing marathon, okay?" - Jules

Why watch this? Bening and Moore deliver two powerful performances.

Plot Summary: A lesbian couple, Nic and Jules, have their lives disrupted when their teenage children, Joni and Laser, decide to seek out their biological father, a charismatic free spirit named Paul. The children's search brings Paul into the family's orbit, leading to unexpected dynamics and shifts in the household.

Dad's Preview: A married lesbian couple each had one child using the same sperm donor, Paul. Sounds like a great film premise. The pure joy of this film is that it doesn't build to an action-filled climax. It slowly, carefully ambles along, taking the necessary time needed to get to where it's going. Life, however difficult, is about the journey.
