Hanging with Motherhood Writer-Director Katherine Dieckmann

21 October 2009 6:59 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »

"While we have a lot of films that exist with mothers in them," Katherine Dieckmann told me earlier this month at the Woodstock Film Festival, "I felt frustrated that I wasn't seeing any depiction of a woman that I could relate to." So, the multi-tasking mother of two -- Caroline, 12, and Nathaniel, 7 -- wrote and directed Motherhood, a tragicomic day in the life of Eliza (Uma Thurman) as she plans her daughter's sixth birthday party and navigates an identity crisis worthy of Joan Didion. And, so that Dieckmann (Diggers) would be home in time to put her kids to bed and do laundry between camera set-ups, she shot in her own neighborhood, Greenwich Village. Ta: What inspired you to write this story? Kd: I was frustrated by the absence of movies where a mother is the lead and her issues... »

Urban Motherhood

19 October 2009 6:30 AM, PDT | TribecaFilm.com | See recent Tribeca Film news »

Writer/director Katherine Dieckmann (Diggers) is playing out her real life on the big screen this week, albeit with a little more glamour than in her everyday existence. As the mother of two children, ages seven and twelve, living in the West Village is not always easy. There are parking rules, walk-ups to small apartments, and childcare to deal with, not to mention the struggle to find your own voice as an autonomous woman. Dieckmann put all her frustrations to paper, and eventually to screen, in her new film Motherhood. With the help of Uma Thurman - also a real-life NYC mother - Anthony Edwards (as Uma's at-times clueless husband), and Minnie Driver, who was extremely pregnant during the shoot, Dieckmann pulls back the curtain on what it's like to raise kids in New York City. In her view, it's not always easy, but it can be rewarding, enlightening, and, »

Trailer: Motherhood

17 October 2009 4:00 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »

Here’s a movie where Uma Thurman gets to do a bit of comedy whilst showing us all that she still has what it takes to be one of the best female actresses in Hollywood.

From writer/director Katherine Dieckmann, the acclaimed filmmaker of Diggers and A Good Baby, comes Motherhood, starring Uma Thurman, Anthony Edwards and Minnie Driver. Shot entirely on location in New York’s West Village, this bittersweet comedy distills the dilemmas of the maternal state (marriage, work, self, and not necessarily in that order) into the trials and tribulations of one pivotal day. Motherhood forms a genre of one – no other movie has dedicated itself in quite this way to probing exactly what it takes to be a mother, with both wry humor and an acute sense of authenticity.

Sneak Peek at Uma Thurman-Starrer 'Motherhood' Found

15 January 2009 1:04 AM, PST | Aceshowbiz | See recent Aceshowbiz news »

Entertainment Weekly (EW) has previewed an exclusive sneak peek at "Motherhood". Less than a minute long, the video features the scene in which Minnie Driver's character confronts Uma Thurman's for telling others about her most personal and private experience.

Obviously upset, Driver pours her anger over the phone across the street of what seems to be Thurman's apartment and doesn't even bother to come in to the building. When Thurman argues that she thinks Driver's experience is something that every single mom could relate, Driver gets even annoyed, claiming that she doesn't want everyone to feel sorry for her and that she's a grown up. The clip can be seen via EW.

From the director of "Diggers", Katherine Dieckmann, comes this independent drama comedy movie about a mother of two who faces a slew of urban challenges living in Manhattan when trying to prepare her daughter's sixth birthday party. »
