This Mother's Day, why not spend it with your mother -- or with your daughter. Or maybe just spend Mother's Day with both your mother and your daughter while watching a movie about mothers and daughters.

In the new drama "Mothers and Daughters," Selma Blair (FX's The People v. O.J. Simpson) plays a rock-n-roll photographer who's shocked to find out she's pregnant. Feeling exceedingly anxious about motherhood, Blair's character gradually shifts into the role of storyteller as the film takes a look at several other women and their strained relationships with their mothers.

Blair is joined by a strong ensemble cast that includes Sharon Stone, Christina Ricci, Courteney Cox, Mira Sorvino, Paul Wesley, singer Ashanti and real-life mother and daughter, Susan Sarandon and Eva Amurri Martino.

Directed by TV producer-turned-first-time feature director Paul Duddridge and written by Paige Cameron, "Mothers and Daughters" will be released in select theaters and iTunes and VOD on Mother's Day weekend, beginning May 6th. Watch the film's trailer, above.

synopsis:
MOTHERS AND DAUGHTERS features interwoven stories about what it means to be a mom, which are tied together via single gal Rigby Gray, a rock photographer who's riding a career high when an unlikely and unexpected pregnancy forces her to turn her lens inward. As Rigby slowly comes to terms with what it might mean to change her life forever, she discovers with fresh eyes her own relationship with her estranged mother. Through a series of photographs documenting motherhood in all its varieties, she considers what it means to be maternal at all. Director Paul Duddridge’s film is a celebration of the unparalleled love between mothers and their children and the myriad ways they connect in today’s modern world.
