About The Good Mother
When troubled teen Jillian is arrested and her mother is missing, she is taken in by the well-respected family of her best friend, Melanie. She starts to rebuild her life, but when Melanie dies after a long illness, Jillian discovers that Melanie's mom might not be "The Good Mother" we think she is.
Directed by Richard Gabai, The Good Mother leans on a strong ensemble — Helen Slater, Camille Cregan, Jean Louisa Kelly — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2013.
