If you are looking to spend quality with your mother for Mother’s Day, HBO and Max have an excellent selection of movies to see together.
The Watch With Us team has selected five great HBO and Max movies to see this year’s mother’s day.
Our options range from a charming musical to stories of the age of majority and even a recent box office success. No story is the same, but each film was chosen due to its exploration of the ties between a mother and her son.
