An emotionally charged drama about motherhood in all its forms

Naomi Kawase's 'True Mothers' is an emotionally charged drama about motherhood in all its forms. Drawn with emotionally deep performances from the leading actresses, Hiromi Nagasaku and Aju Makita, the film focuses on the process, not the outcome. So, despite the slow burn and somewhat longer running time, it lingers in one's mind and heart in the best way possible and pays off in the end.

Trivia
Actress Miyoko Asada studied thoroughly about spokespeople of adoption agencies and their business for the role of her character. For the seminar scene, it was entirely improvised as she took real questions from the extras and answered them fully. She spoke at the whole faux seminar in character for a full hour.
