Bringing Up Bobby (2011)

In a spirited blend of adventure and drama, Bringing Up Bobby paints the vibrant tale of Olive (Milla Jovovich), a nomadic European con-artist, and her charming 10-year-old American-born son, Bobby (Spencer List). The duo find themselves in the heartland of Oklahoma, seeking refuge from Olive's shady past, while also attempting to weave a brighter, more stable future. Olive, driven by the desire to grant Bobby the opportunities she was denied, prioritizes his education and moral upbringing. With the aid of her old Oklahoman friend, Walt (Rory Cochrane), she navigates the unfamiliar terrain of motherhood in the only way she knows how. Despite her best intentions, however, Bobby's behavior begins to raise eyebrows at school and in their conservative neighborhood. Their charmed life takes a dramatic twist when Bobby has an unfortunate encounter with Kent (Bill Pullman), a local affluent businessman. Simultaneously, Olive's criminal past resurfaces, threatening to shatter their carefully crafted life. Olive is cornered into making a heart-wrenching decision: persist with her life of crime, endangering Bobby's future, or sacrifice her own happiness to give Bobby a real shot at a proper life. Bringing Up Bobby is a stirring exploration of motherhood, sacrifice, and the lengths one would go to provide for their loved ones. It's a captivating journey of two charming misfits braving the world together, with every twist and turn beckoning the viewer to question: how far would you go to protect your family?
