BEST GO-TO MOTHER-DAUGHTER MOVIES FOR MOTHER’S DAY

LADY BIRD (2017)

At the heart of one of the most graceful, funny, and alive coming-of-age pictures is a perfect depiction of a rebellious teen’s fractious relationship with her mother.

Saoirse Ronan is the title character at loggerheads with her wary, well-intentioned mum (Laurie Metcalf).

PANIC ROOM (2002)

Creatively creepy home-invasion thriller, in which a protective single mother (Jodie Foster) and her teenage daughter (Kristen Stewart) try to make it through the first night in a new house that has been overrun by three vicious burglars.
