Three film mums to spend
your week with |  | Phil DeSemlyen
Film editor and motherlover |
|
| Rosemary Penderghast in ‘Easy A’ (2010) | Who among us has not, at one point or other, wished that Patricia Clarkson and Stanley Tucci in ‘Easy A’ were their actual parents? Clarkson’s mum, Rosemary, is so effortlessly cool and supportive of her daughter Olive (Emma Stone). When Olive fesses up to getting sent to the principal, she gasps: ‘Did you win a medal or something?’ We love her.

| | Mildred Pierce in ‘Mildred Pierce’ (1945) | Famously, Joan Crawford wasn’t the cuddliest mum IRL. But she’s a tigress for her kids in this take on James M Cain’s potboiler – even if one of them goes off the rails completely. There’s also an HBO five-parter with Kate Winslet if you like your mum-daughter psychodramas to play out in full colour.

| | Olivia Evans in ‘Boyhood’ (2014) | Going-it-alone mum Olivia Evans (an Oscar-winning Patricia Arquette) is a real-life Elastigirl in a one-of-a-kind family epic that spans 12 years in the lives of her son Mason and daughter, Samantha. She doesn’t get everything right, but she’s there for her kids every step of the way.
