Recent films explore the emotional burdens of parenthood

Three recent films, "Hamnet," "Omaha," and "If I Had Legs I'd Kick You," explore the profound emotional burdens and sacrifices of parenthood. These films highlight the challenges of solo parenting, with mothers and fathers facing immense difficulties when partners are absent, whether due to work, death, or other circumstances. The movies also differ in their portrayal of children, with some focusing intensely on the parent's perspective and others centering the children's experiences and the hope they represent.
