Set at the dawn of Covid, Family Portrait follows a family on an idle morning when they have planned a group picture. After the mother vanishes and one daughter becomes desperate to find her and gather her sprawling family, the film progressively descends into a realm where time and space lose their grip, transforming the family portrait into a solemn and enigmatic ritual of transition.

It’s a foreboding film, a drama that recreates the sense that something bad is going to happen or may have happened already.

Rated: 3/4

Carlos Aguilar

Variety

While free-floating and airy in its construction, the film’s deceiving familiarity slowly erodes, morphing into an unsettling, formally astute brain-tickler

Slant Magazine

Family Portrait stands out for its profound mistrust, not just of images but of the sense of sight altogether.

Rated: 3/4

But Why Tho? A Geek Community

Family Portrait is a smart film. The uncertainty of the film’s ending will either resonate with you or it won’t. You’ll fill the emptiness with your experience, or you’ll just leave it hollow. It’s really up to you.

Rated: 8/10

InSession Film

This playful, totally unfettered quality extends to Kerr's morally ambiguous, occasionally discomfiting consideration of the natural landscape that surrounds the family and the effect that it has on their behavior.

Rated: B+

Murjani Rawls

Substream Magazine

Even if the film can’t quite express what it wants to say about the characters on the screen, it does its job using them and the scenery they operate inside as a wide array of canvasses slowly but surely losing color.
