      Thelma Adams AARP Movies for Grownups Shantrelle P. Lewis' extraordinary documentary, from Oscar winner Ava DuVernay's Array film collective, is the ideal Mother's Day movie. It proves that sometimes the best stories come from simply listening. Rated: 4/5 May 10, 2021 Full Review Sarah-Tai Black Los Angeles Times It's a film to be watched not for its more literal filmmaking achievements, but rather for its ability to make you feel seen, with vulnerability and with love. May 8, 2021 Full Review Lovia Gyarkye Hollywood Reporter Despite its flaws, In Our Mothers' Gardens is an assured documentary that cogently wrestles with Walker's thesis before enthusiastically passing the baton. May 7, 2021 Full Review Leslie Combemale AWFJ.org In Our Mothers' Gardens is a fearless, confessionalist record, from inside personal histories, of Black mothers and grandmothers, and it is beautifully steeped in Black love and culture. Rated: 4/5 Jun 27, 2021 Full Review Jennifer Green Common Sense Media Women, especially women of color, will appreciate the honest, intimate, and insightful stories and sentiments this engaging documentary elicits from its subjects. Rated: 3/5 May 17, 2021 Full Review Jason Clinkscales Decider In Our Mothers' Gardens is the ideal celebration of a truth many are still coming to understand.
