The Good Mother (1988)

There is some real unevenness in this story about a newly sexually liberated mother who is at odds with her more conservative ex-husband. Director Leonard Nimoy takes these two disparate viewpoints to their extremes where the actions of these parents, particularly the mother, become nonsensical. Diane Keaton tries to make the mother’s progress believable, but it doesn’t quite get there. She is supported in a impressive cast with Liam Neeson as her new boyfriend and Jason Robards, Joe Morton, Katey Sagal, and Teresa Wright all coming in for small roles.
