FATHER MOTHER SISTER BROTHER is a feature film, though carefully constructed in the form of a triptych. The three stories all concern the relationships between adult children, their somewhat distant parent (or parents), and each other. Each of the three chapters takes place in the present, and each in a different country.

What Jarmusch has called his “quiet film” speaks with clarity as one from the heart.

RogerEbert.com

For the first two sections of its three-story construction, it's a painstaking look at repressed emotions, of families who can’t be anything but awkward with each other.

Time Out

Not top tier Jarmusch, but still a funny, soulful anthology worth seeking out.

Rated: 3/5

Morning Star (UK)

Jarmusch’s direction remains as cool as ever, but at times, the acting feels somewhat stiff.

Rated: 2/5

Marshall Shaffer

The Playlist

"It’s not particularly enjoyable to watch or consider in retrospect. And yet, it’s capable of stirring deep, profound sadness in its simplicity."

Rated: B

In short, he's now getting his flowers for rehashing narrative devices that critic Jonathan Rosenbaum already deemed repetitive and risk-averse some three decades ago.
