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.

Wall Street Journal

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.

Mashable

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

Observer

Jarmusch knows just when and how to hold on moments long enough to imbue them with warmth, bittersweetness and a touch of dramatic irony.

Rated: 3.5/4

Cinencuentro

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]

Radio Times

The cumulative effect will leave you in a thoughtful, if perhaps not enlivened, mood.

Rated: 3/5

That Hashtag Show

Jim Jarmusch’s writing takes the easy way out by refusing to execute any resolution. A film of first acts and no second or third acts is a frustrating tease.
