10 Best Motherhood Movies On Netflix Right Now: Pregnancy is a difficult process, no matter how pleasant it appears later. Life as you know it changes completely the instant you realize that you’ll never be alone again. Not for the next nine months, at least. For those who have done it before, it becomes familiar turf, and they are aware of the minor details that must be addressed. For first-timers, though, it is completely out of this world. Mood swings, particularly at important junctures, are also detrimental.

Nothing like a good narrative for taking your mind off the terrible things, even if only for a couple of hours. As a result, we’ve produced a collection of films that have been specifically crafted to address the vast spectrum of emotions that will accompany your pregnancy. Some will make you chuckle, while others will make you cry incessantly; some are just for thoughtless pleasure, while others will give you a new perspective on parenthood and other emotions. Here’s a list of really fantastic mom movies on Netflix that you can watch right now.

10. Pieces of a Woman (2020)

‘Pieces of a Woman,’ a drama film starring Vanessa Kirby, Shia LaBeouf, Molly Parker, and Sarah Snook, is loosely based on Mundruczó and Wéber’s stage piece of the same name. The story revolves around the Boston couple Martha and Sean, whose plan to have a homebirth ends tragically and begins an arduous path for the expecting mother to accept the hard reality. While the video is not primarily about motherhood, it does provide a very deep knowledge of the sadness that some moms must, sadly, experience.

9. Slam (2016)

Unlike the other films on the list, this one concentrates on the experience of parenthood. Nicholas Hornby’s novels, ‘High Fidelity’ and ‘About a Boy,’ have been made into films due to his unique ability to convey stories about children in an honest manner. Another such story is ‘Slam,’ which was adapted for the cinema by Italian director Andrea Molaioli. The film explores the story of adolescent pregnancy from a unique perspective. Sam, 16, looks up to Tony Hawk and has high hopes for himself. Becoming a father is most emphatically not one of them. He falls in love with Alicia after meeting her at a party hosted by her mother’s acquaintance. They start an affair, and after a while, Alicia informs him that she is pregnant. How will Sam handle the matter now? Should he flee or stay and accept responsibility?

8. Otherhood (2019)

‘Otherhood,’ directed by Cindy Chupack, is a comedy film based on William Sutcliffe’s novel ‘Whatever Makes You Happy.’ Gillian, Carol, and Helen are three long-time friends and mothers who feel ostracized and forgotten on Mother’s Day. So they intend to visit their sons in New York, hoping to persuade them that they need to make significant changes in their life. The excursion, however, turns out to be a life-changing event for the trio, as they discover some unexpected insights that change their lives.

7. Bird Box (2018)

‘Bird Box,’ a post-apocalyptic horror movie starring Sandra Bullock, Trevante Rhodes, John Malkovich, and Danielle Macdonald, is based on Josh Malerman’s novel of the same name. The Susanne Bier-directed film transports viewers to a post-apocalyptic planet destroyed by an unknown creature. While many people perish, a mom sets out on a survival mission with her children close by. Unfortunately, because the entity is always around, they must always keep their eyes hidden and cross perilous rivers and forests.

6. The Lost Daughter (2021)

‘The Lost Daughter,’ based on Elena Ferrante’s novel of the same name, is a psychological drama film starring Olivia Colman, Dakota Johnson, Jessie Buckley, and Paul Mescal. Leda, an English teacher, decides to take some time off and go on vacation while her daughters are with their father in Canada. While everything appears to be going as planned, things take a turn for the worst when Leda encounters a family whose mere presence unsettles her for some reason. One thing leads to another, and the middle-aged instructor suddenly realizes the mistakes she made as a mother over the years, as well as the ramifications of those faults.

5. Invisible (2017)

People are divided between the morality of pro-life and the freedom of pro-choice. It appears to be an easy question to answer for someone who does not have to deal with the direct ramifications of their decision. However, deciding whether or not to give life a chance is not as simple as it appears. Ely’s narrative demonstrates this. After school, Ely works part-time at a pet store. Her existence is routine and, for the most part, dull. But then she became pregnant. At first, she feels certain about her decision to get an abortion. But she can’t because she lives in Argentina, where abortion is prohibited. Ely suffers from the moral dilemma of her decision as her friend and boyfriend try to find ways to help her get rid of the baby.

4. Dumplin’ (2018)

‘Dumplin’ is a coming-of-age comedy film based on Julie Murphy’s same-named young adult novel. The film is directed by Anne Fletcher and stars Willowdean “Will” Dickson, a Texan girl whose mother Rosie is a former beauty queen who scarcely has time for her daughter. Will, understandably unhappy with her, enters her mother’s pageant. Things quickly get out of hand as more contestants inspired by her decide to enter, reinventing the pageant in the process.

3. Private Life (2018)

Having a kid is a wonderful experience for any couple. However, not everyone has the opportunity to share in this joy. While some are fortunate and have it easy, others must wait their time and exhaust every possible alternative while comforting themselves with the potential that things will still not go their way. If you want to be reminded of how privileged you are in that regard, ‘Private Life’ is the film for you. It tells the story of Richard and Rachel, a middle-aged couple who have been trying for a long time to have children. They fail in one attempt after another, prompting them to consider other choices. How much longer will they have to wait before their wish is granted?

2. Lady Bird (2017)

‘Lady Bird,’ directed by Greta Gerwig, is a coming-of-age comedy film starring Saoirse Ronan, Laurie Metcalf, Tracy Letts, Lucas Hedges, and Timothée Chalamet.

During her senior year of high school, the titular protagonist learns of her mother’s struggle and gradually comes to terms with the harsh truths of life.

1. The Birth Reborn (2013)

There are numerous questions that a lady must have addressed before to the date of her delivery. First-time mothers, in particular, have a lot to learn, and no matter how many books you read or movies you watch, you’ll only receive a distinct perspective until you’ve gone through the experience yourself. Still, some decisions must be made ahead of time, the most crucial of which being the manner of delivery. Do you choose the natural route, or do you let science provide you a somewhat less unpleasant option? Every woman has her own ideas about how she should proceed, based on what is best for her and her child. There are some things you may learn from other mothers’ experiences to help you understand what you’re getting yourself into. Interviews with doctors and women in Brazil are featured in this documentary, which draws a distinction between Caesarean and natural birth.
