Kristy Puchko The Playlist Materna feels like a hodgepodge of half-finished drafts from one-act plays, pompous short films, and dusty first screenplays. Rated: C- Aug 20, 2021 Full Review Beatrice Loayza New York Times Each section... leaves its mark... Aug 12, 2021 Full Review Tomris Laffly RogerEbert.com What Materna tries to say on race, class, culture, and society remains all too vague and surface-level in its aftermath. Rated: 2/4 Aug 6, 2021 Full Review Edward Douglas The Weekend Warrior (Substack) An intriguing and somewhat enigmatic film from Gutnik and his collaborators. Aug 26, 2021 Full Review Alisha Netis Black Girl Nerds 'Materna' is telling a story that is never told, possibly one that is shameful to tell. Rated: 3/5 Aug 19, 2021 Full Review Aaron Neuwirth We Live Entertainment The nature of this sort of film means it's relatively easy to determine the stronger segments from the weaker ones. Rated: 5/10 Aug 18, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews
