The Monday Night Film Series presents "MY MOTHER’S WEDDING", on March 30th Monday at 7:30pm at Tilley Hall, Room 102 at UNB.

My Mother's Wedding is a comedy-drama film that explores family dynamics, grief, and second chances. Directed by and starring Kristin Scott Thomas as the mother, Diana, the story centers on the reunion of her three adult daughters in rural England for Diana's third marriage. Each sister—Katherine (Scarlett Johansson), Victoria (Sienna Miller), and Georgina (Emily Beecham)—brings personal turmoil to the event. The wedding weekend forces the women to confront old resentments and the unspoken grief from the deaths of their two Navy pilot fathers. 

The film is a poignant and authentic exploration of family bonds and the courage required to embrace imperfection and move forward. The strong ensemble cast delivers compelling performances, expertly navigating the film's balance of humor and emotional sincerity. The use of black-and-white animated flashbacks adds a unique, artistic touch to childhood memories. As a delightful and resonant take on the "dysfunctional family gathering" genre, "My Mother's Wedding" offers a charming and vital look at life, love, and the enduring strength of family connections.

Thomas, pulling from her own experiences, understood the assignment and delivered a nice warm blanket, sprinkling in the right amount of laughs in My Mother's Wedding. Ricky Valero, FandomWire

Kristin Scott Thomas' directorial debut "My Mother's Wedding," is a confident first go from behind the camera, an engaging family drama that wisely doesn't overstay its welcome and deftly balances subtle humour with genuine poignancy. Charles Koplinski, Reel Talk with Chuck and Pam
