movieThemes: Alan Rickman - Winter Guest (532 words)
In a brilliant piece of casting, Emma Thompson is paired with her real-life mother, Phyllida Law.
Both Law and Thompson are wonderful at portraying this relationship - being both crotchety with eachother but displaying the undercurrent of love and respect all the time.
Law is compelling as the mother who doesn't want to give in to her aging body, and is absolutely believable as her moods swing from irascibility, anger, to love and friendship.
