The Kids are All Right

Director: Lisa Cholodenko

2010 / 106min / DCP

Longtime lesbian couple Nic and Jules (Annette Bening and Julianne Moore), parents of two teenagers fathered by the same anonymous sperm donor, have their slightly stagnant relationship shaken up when their 16-year-old son asks for information about his biological father—and shortly after the family meets donor Paul (Mark Ruffalo), Jules embarks on an affair with him. “Outrageously funny without ever exaggerating for comic effect, and heartbreaking with only minimal melodramatic embellishment… Blends the anarchic energy of farce… with a novelistic sensitivity to the almost invisible threads that bind and entangle people.”—The New York Times
