Lez (Not So) Miserables

The biggest surprise about The Kids are All Right, popularly billed as “that movie about the lesbian moms” is that it ends up being so much more than just that. Yes, it features a lesbian marriage, between the overachieving Nic (Annette Bening) and the free-spirited Jules (Julianne Moore). But their lesbianism is simply the film’s backdrop, not its subject. The Kids are All Right is truly progressive, envisioning an America where same sex-marriage is so normal, it need not be addressed head on.
