The Kids Are All Right hits all the right notes...funny, realistic, entertaining, and well-written. Annette Bening was outstanding as the type A Mom who is flawed but knows it, and is honest enough to apologize and try to make amends. Julianne Moore is also wonderful, and plays her role to the hilt. Mark Ruffalo was a joy to watch, and you just gotta love that guy!! Each character struggles with his or her own issues, and the complexity of family relationships is skillfully depicted as the movie unfolds. I see tons of movies, and I have to say, this one is certainly one of my favorites for the year. I would certainly vote for Annette Bening to win the Oscar for Best Actress in the coming year.
