Die Ya-Yas- lebenslang eingeschworene Freundinnen Vivis - versuchen in der preisgekrönten Adaption von Rebecca Wells Bestseller Mutter und Tochter mit einem unkonventionellen Plan wieder zusammen zu bringen.
Gesamte Besetzung von Die göttlichen Geheimnisse der Ya-Ya Schwestern
Sandra Bullock
Sidda Walker
Fans of Sandra Bullock might appreciate her role in "Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood" as it showcases her versatility beyond the romantic comedies and thrillers she is best known for, like "
Speed" or "
The Blind Side." In this film, she plays a supporting but pivotal role that complements the ensemble of strong female leads, highlighting her ability to blend into a dramatic and emotionally rich storyline. Unlike her most iconic performances that often center on her as the lead with a strong individual arc, here, Bullock's role is more subtle, adding depth and nuance to the relationships portrayed. An interesting detail is that Bullock was drawn to this project because of the tight-knit, female-driven narrative, which contrasts with the more action-oriented or singular narratives in her career, offering fans a refreshing look at her range as an actress.
Ellen Burstyn
Vivi Abbott Walker

Compared to her most iconic role as the distraught mother in '
Requiem for a Dream,' this character offers a warmer, more comedic side that showcases Burstyn's versatility. An interesting detail about her casting is that Burstyn was attracted to the role because the script emphasized the strong bond among women, reminiscent of the powerful emotional connections she explored in her earlier work.
