A woman has a passionate affair with a man half her age, who is also sleeping with her daughter.
Today, actor Daniel Craig is definitely a DILF, but in 2003's The Mother, he was the hot young handyman who bedded May, a mother twice his age. I wish I could have found director Roger Michell's British drama to re-watch for this post. I saw it on video back in the 2000's, but my most vivid memory was of course of Daniel's delicious derriere.
I wanted to re-watch because the film wasn't an erotic tale of an older woman bedding a hot younger man. May was a complicated mother, one who's parenting style left lasting emotional scars on her children. May's life had always been constrained by the expectations of society and her husband. After he dies however, she has a chance to start again and follow her dreams of becoming an artist.
Unfortunately, her sexual affair with Darren, (Craig) is complicated because of his relationship with her children. Darren is not only a handyman renovating May's son's home, he's also the boyfriend of her daughter Paula.
To add to the complicated relationships and dynamics, Darren is also married with an autistic son. Darren does however, seem to share May's passion for art, but he also shares himself to more and ultimately, seems more interested in May's money, than being with her long term.
