The Academy Award nominee catches up with THR about her semi-autobiographical film 'My Mother's Wedding' and why she finally took a seat in the director's chair: "I find it very difficult to actually get my head around the fact that I made the decisions.

Kristin Scott Thomas talks with PEOPLE about reuniting with her onscreen daughter from 'The Horse Whisperer,' Scarlett Johansson, for her moving directorial debut, 'My Mother's Wedding,' in which they play a mother-daughter duo for a second time.

Thomas co-wrote the script with her husband, journalist John Micklethwait, which includes a particularly poignant monologue for her character telling her daughters, essentially, to grow up and move on — a mature and worthy statement that might come a bit too late. “My Mother’s Wedding” feels only partially realized.
