Richard Whittaker Austin Chronicle Oct 20
Mother of Flies has a hypnotic quality never quite present in their prior films, a sensation like falling, and much of it is created by John’s transitions and juxtapositions. Go to Full Review Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com Sep 24
These creators are talented in every way one can use that word, and that would be true even if they weren’t working with their most loved ones. Go to Full Review Clint Worthington RogerEbert.com Aug 22
It’s a somber, meditative chamber piece, albeit one soaked in wood and blood and philosophical musings on the nature of death Go to Full Review Jason Shawhan Nashville Scene Dec 5
Mother of Flies is a modern folk-horror masterpiece about a family pushed to the brink by the one-two punch of cancer and the domestic health care system and driven to explore more witch-based treatment possibilities. Go to Full Review Allan Hunter Screen International Nov 26
A polished horror yarn that leads to a satisfying conclusion, and leaves the impression there is more than enough material here for a potential prequel or an extension of Solveig’s story. Go to Full Review Molly Henery The Blogging Banshee Nov 7
9/10
