Critics Consensus

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

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

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.

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...

It gets over as a dystopian allegory.

This movie was bad, I would not recommend to anyone. Reasoning being, it’s lackluster plot, lack of emotion, and at times horrible writing. The movie is simply a regurgitation of so many “ai” tropes and story’s all mashed together to create this movie that supposedly represents motherhood.

The third act didn't completely work for me, but the film as a whole is a good movie & solid sci-fi thriller that's more an extended episode of The Twilight Zone than its own tale.
