Brazen, timely, and heartwrenching, Two Mothers is an intense exploration of the trials and tribulations a same-sex couple encounter in their desire to become loving parents. Katja (Sabine Wolf) and Isabella (Karina Plachetka) are happily married and feel the time is right to have a child. As the weeks and months pass by, it becomes clear that the process will be far more fraught than either were prepared for—and even threaten their relationship in unexpected ways. Brilliantly honest and surprisingly stirring, Two Mothers is unmissable. Directed by Anne Zohra Berrached. TLA Releasing (tlareleasing.com). —Suzie Lynde
