This 2010 comedy drama was well received by critics and fans alike. It premiered to rave reviews at the Sundance festival, and then received a limited cinema release which was expanded when it became clear that audiences loved it. It went on to win Golden Globes for 'Best Picture,' with star Annette Bening winning the 'Best Actress' award at the same ceremony. Four Oscar nominations followed, although it wasn't able to pick up any trophies.
'The Kids Are All Right' was both written and directed by Lisa Cholodenko and depicts a same sex couple played by Bening and Julianne Moore raising their teenage children. The elder sister becomes curious and sets out in search of her biological father. There's joy when she finds him, but that quickly turns to despair when he has an affair with one of her mothers. With this being a comedy, all of these events lead on to hilarious consequences.
