Read my spoiler-free movie review of True Mothers (2020).
True Mothers is a new drama about what happens when a woman who’s the mother of an adopted child, gets contacted by the child’s birth mother.
From director/co-writer Naomi Kawase; True Mothers stars Hiromi Nagasaku, Arata Iura anc Aju Makita.
Talk about an adoptive mother’s worst nightmare. Though, that’s not to suggest that a 14 year-old girl being forced to give up her child against her will isn’t also a nightmare.
I’m curious about the similarities and differences in adoption laws between the east and west. Plus, the story is set in beautiful Japan afterall.
Reo Sato, Hiroko Nakajima, Tetsu Hirahara and Ren Komai also star.

This looks great, actually, and heartbreaking.
Absolutely right. I’m expecting some wisdom too, along with more dreams of travelling to Japan. 🤓
