In this international film from Mexico, starring Natalia Coronado and Silvia Navarro, a young girl’s mother prevents her from BMX racing after the death of her father, who was killed in an accident. Little does she know that she will do everything in her power to enter a competition without her mother knowing. The competition requires the consent of one parent. Instead of asking her mother, who will obviously object, she finds someone to stand in as her father so she can enter the competition. The film exposes the strained relationships kids can have with their parents and the process of healing it. The 2020 movie has some foul language so it’s probably best for older kids. This comedy-drama shows the power of words. Amy Poehler plays a former Riot Grrl turned mom who inspires her teenage daughter to start a revolution and make a change in her high school by calling out sexism in an anonymous zine. This Netflix original film is based on the book, Moxie: A Novel by Jennifer Mathieu. The movie stars Josephine Langford, Hadley Robinson, Lauren Tsai and Alycia Pascual-Pena.

We know that this film is a YA film with big feelings and a big message, and at the end of the day, we've all talked about how it's a human film," Poehler told Entertainment Weekly in a 2021 interview. “It's about someone's personal journey, it's about friendship, it's about love, allyship, all that stuff. But of course, the big theme is how the feminist movement has evolved through the years.”

We have seen rom-coms before, we have seen Delhi girls in films before, so the challenge in front of me was to add something to make it look different, and make it mine,” she told FirstPost in a 2020 interview. “I took it as an opportunity as a performer to draw that line where you don’t necessarily have to sound brash, or there have to be any cuss words. Deep down, what I loved about the character besides her being strong and witty, was her vulnerability that nobody has seen.” Told though the framing device of a young woman, Cristina, writing her college essay, Spanglish tells the story of her mother a Mexican immigrant named Flor. After the pair settle in Los Angeles, Flor finds a job as a housekeeper for a wealthy but dysfunctional family and agrees that she and Cristina will live at their home in Malibu for the summer. Cristina often serves as a translator for her mom, and finds herself dazzled by the wealth she is exposed to. This creates conflict between her and her working class mom, who wants Cristina to remain more grounded. When an uptight mom (Jennifer Garner) agrees to a “yes day,” a day when she and her husband say yes to their son and two daughters’ most outlandish requests, it’s the stuff of childhood dreams. The whirlwind day of fun results in a chore-free, sundae-eating, Kool-Aid balloon throwing free for all. But is it a perfect world when kids get to run the show? That’s what you’ll find out when you watch this Netflix original. A word of caution. If you watch this with your children, chances are, they’re going to ask for their own Yes Day.

A woman travels from Spain to Vietnam with her friends, determined to bring home the baby that her recently deceased daughter had planned on adopting, proving that motherhood can be complicated. The three women have never left Spain in their lives and, naturally, hilarity and cultural confusion. This movie is also in Spanish and English and is written by Marta Sánchez and directed by Patricia Ferreira. It’s been praised and critiqued for its modern-day portrayal of Vietnam. The movie stars Carmen Machi , Aitana Sanched-Gijo, and Adriana Ozores.This movie, which was first shown at the 2017 Sundance Film Festival, has strong language and violence and may not be appropriate for younger children. All Together Now makes the argument that tragedies don’t have to be faced alone,” IndieWire commentator Kate Erbland wrote. She added that although the movie “has a happy ending,” it also “makes it clear that such conclusions are only the start.” It’s about how social media can make you want to go literally as far from your life as possible,” Ryan shared in a 2017 Just Jaredinterview. “It’s about grief, profound lingering grief and how, even though we’re all healing from different things, none of us has to heal alone.” OK, a million warnings about this one: it’s a tearjerker. If you’re looking for a light, “feel-good” kind of Mother’s Day movie, Stepmom ain’t it. But if you need a cathartic cry, you can do no better.
