Her having lunch with her elderly daughter was sad

Did you feel the mother and daughter relationship was well portrayed? This is where the story fails, for my liking. There is very little tenderness between them so I didn't feel sad during that lunch scene. Adeline is always so detached, and while that is a requirement to protect herself in many situations, time with your child should be one place where you can show a little warmth. She never once convinced me that she cared about anyone but herself.

I thought it was lacking, too. Like they hardly see each other. Surely they've moved enough that they could seem grandmother and granddaughter and have a relationship known by others that way. If Adaline moves every few years then why wouldn't they just do that? Did her daughter never get married or anything? It wasn't how I would play it.
