Two Mothers for Zachary (1996)

Based on a true story, Valerie Bertinelli is the recently divorced mother of an infant son who begins a relationship and then moves in with a female co-worker. Because of what she believes is an ‘immoral’ lifestyle, her mother, Vanessa Redgrave, sues for custody of her grandson and wins. The actual details of the case are mind-blowingly sad and this film doesn’t do them justice. The courtship and conditions of the romantic relationship don’t play out very believably and Redgrave gives a really weird accent throughout.
