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.

Critics Consensus

Father Mother Sister Brother is a subtly haunting, wryly funny, and visually poised triptych that transforms the banal awkwardness of family life into a bittersweet meditation on the bonds that persist.

It’s principally a textual experiment that suggests, even quasi-scientifically, the underlying universality of families amid their aesthetic differences.

Mr. Jarmusch is, as ever, loath to satisfy any of the traditional demands of drama, and even on his own terms this film feels a bit minor, but it is visually poised and draws out a lingering poignancy from its spare narratives.

FATHER MOTHER SISTER BROTHER offers the familiar family hang — one that's authentically awkward, funny, and tragic.

Undercooked, slight and underwhelming without allowing any of the talented ensemble cast to truly shine. It's ultimately less than the sum of its parts. Night on Earth is a superior Jarmusch film that also includes interconnected vignettes.

Compared to the more schematic quirk of The Dead Don’t Die, this feels like late style in the best sense. The jokes are softer, the cuts are cleaner, the cynicism is dialed down, though the honesty is not.

The first two stories have more humor and a more successful exploration of emotional dependency and control... The third, however, seems to lose some of that momentum, as if it were an idea added at the last minute. [Full review in Spanish]
