Panos Kotzathanasis Asian Movie Pulse "Mother" is a very hard film through its cruel realism, which could have been a great one with a few minor changes in the writing and the finale. Dec 20, 2020 Full Review John Serba Decider Mother is a fascinating drama, gripping us until its brutal and ironic conclusion.

j F Excellent portrayal of the personality of a user, someone that it is impossible to redeem. Was aggravating at times at times, which was the point, but also a little slow going. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/03/23 Full Review Claire F It's bleak from start to finish but mesmerizing. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/08/23 Full Review william d This is one of those films where you just want to reach in and slap some sense into some of the characters. I must admit, however, to do so would remove the sublime tragedy underlying the story. If you're looking for an uplifting feel-good story look somewhere else. But if you appreciate realistic drama I recommend this one. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Absolutely Fascinating Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review luca j Okay, not terrible, not great either. Characters and storyline are pretty one dimensional - I guess that's the point. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member La trama es muy depresiva, los actores son decentes y los escenarios están bien. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Read all reviews
