Critics Consensus

Suspenseful, well-acted, and intelligent, I Am Mother is an ambitious sci-fi story that largely achieves its impressive aims.

Noëlle D. Lilley

Chicago Reader

Australian filmmaker Grant Sputore's direction keeps viewers on their toes, and we never quite know who to trust.

Los Angeles Times

It's an exciting film to watch, but an even better one to think about after - preferably in the company of a real, physically present person.

The Age (Australia)

It's rich material, handled brilliantly by first-time feature director Grant Sputore, a West Australian, working from an intelligently wrought screenplay from American Michael Lloyd-Green.

Rugaard has to be able to play the naiveté of a child while also underscoring the fact that this particular child has been uncommonly trained and is quite knowledgeable and resourceful. She handles it well...

I think some movies make you think too much, which isn't a good thing when its nearing bed time. Mother, for its budget, did things quite well. It had just enough of everything and is definitely worth a watch. At times it felt like a low budget film. And at others it felt like it had a huge budget. So if you average it out, it comes out way ahead, which is great! I would recommend it to anyone without hesitation.

Nice concept and very watchable. But some huge logic holes involving sentinent computers that are supposed to mother babies but suddenly don’t work while they are recharging, lack of monitoring equipment through the complex, lots of chances to ask questions that are never asked, etc… and an ending that ends far too easily without violence or retribution - yes the actual ending frame works, but more attention to the 5 minutes leading up to it could have made this a classic.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Slick production with good acting and a thought provoking storyline. Google the ending AFTER watching it - there was lots of stuff I didn't realise.
