Here is the “Motherhood” plot description:

From writer and director Katherine Dieckmann (the acclaimed filmmaker of “Diggers” and “A Good Baby”) comes “Motherhood,” which stars Uma Thurman, Anthony Edwards and Minnie Driver.

Shot entirely on location in New York’s West Village, this comedy distills the dilemmas of the maternal state – marriage, work, self and not necessarily in that order – into the trials and tribulations of one pivotal day.

Equal parts Mrs. Dalloway and “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” “Motherhood” forms a genre of one. No other movie has dedicated itself in quite this way to probing exactly what it takes to be a mother with both wry humor and an acute sense of authenticity.

“Motherhood,” which is a humorous and poignant look at the daily challenges mothers everywhere face, is a hymn to the trials and joys of raising children and the necessity of not losing yourself in the process.
