I completely related to this film, as someone who writes and has three kids. Watching, I felt, ‘Phew, I’m not the only person who is on deadline, boiling spaghetti downstairs, giving my son something to do so that I can interview someone for a deadline.’ You often worry if you’re doing anything that is good, because you cannot really focus on it. And it was lovely to see people in difficult situations still producing really fine, excellent, and moving things, and it tells me something, also, about the nature of the mothering and the creativity, in that we do view them as at odds, but perhaps they’re not.
