The Hollywood Reporter

O'Shea doesn't really offer enough evidence to convince us the episode is emblematic of this conflict-haunted region.

Donald Clarke

Irish Times

A Mother is more of a socio-geographical snapshot than an investigative report.

Rated: 4/5

Simran Hans

Observer (UK)

The tone of the reportage wavers between personal and journalistic. Still, it's a good story.

Rated: 3/5

It's a documentary you need to approach with the full knowledge that there are no easy answers.

Aine O'Connor

Sunday Independent (Ireland)

It is not an uplifting watch - but it is an interesting study of what happens when the past remains unprocessed.

Rated: 4/5

Film Ireland Magazine

The Troubles may be over but this film asks its audience to re-examine what this means for those who live in its wake.
