Katie Rife AV Club Madres has some good ideas, but it fails to see the structural forest for the sumptuously photographed trees. Rated: C Oct 9, 2021 Full Review Nick Allen RogerEbert.com Calling a movie like Madres by-the-numbers would be a compliment, and an overstatement, because that would indicate that the makers were even mildly successful. Rated: 1/4 Oct 8, 2021 Full Review Michael Nordine Variety Ryan Zaragoza's Welcome to the Blumhouse horror offering might teach you something even if it doesn't scare you. Oct 7, 2021 Full Review Jordy Sirkin Jordy Reviews It A slow-paced film that while not inherently scary, showcases different horrors. Feb 22, 2023 Full Review Carla Hay Culture Mix Even though there are supernatural elements in the story, it's based on real-life traumatic incidents involving motherhood ... The final 20 minutes of the movie make up for the aspects of the story that tend to get repetitive. Dec 31, 2021 Full Review Dolores Quintana Dolores Quintana MADRES packs a wallop and takes you through a number of different social issues before finally landing on the true evil. It's a realistic and real-life evil that is all the more horrible because it's true. Dec 31, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member 2.5 out of 5 stars. The next blumhouse production film that fails to be terrifying with tedious characters. Plot. And lacking in scares. Good cast. Boring script and direction that is dull. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 04/27/22 Full Review Audience Member Good film overall. The script could have used a little more work but the way it was executed was very nice. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member I liked it! The acting was a bit poor in places. And some of it I could see from a mile away. But with what they were given to work with, I was engaged. And I appreciate the little cultural insights on Mexican-American culture. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Original story, full of historical truths about California and (Mexican) American history. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member This happens in California learn! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Loved the cinematography and direction in this, the ending could've been more fleshed out but the story already had me intrigued. Not bad at all! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Read all reviews
