Here are a set of vibrant new photos from Lisa Chodolenko’s family drama “The Kids Are All Right” which has already been earmarked as an early award-season contender next year.
The film stars Annette Benning and Julianne Moore as same-sex parents whose worlds are turned upside down when their children (Mia Wasikowska and Josh Hutcherson) bring their sperm-donor father, played by Mark Ruffalo, back into their lives.
The film was picked up by Focus Features soon after it lit up Sundance for $5 million and then went on to take home the Queer Film Award at Berlin for Best Feature Film.
A theatrical release in the fall to maximize the award-season buzz seems probable with Benning and Moore tipped to shake up the Best Actress race — Moore has been nominated for four Oscars and Benning for three though both have never won. And, of course, we all know how much the Academy likes to reward consistency and persistence.
