Clint Worthington RogerEbert.com It’s a somber, meditative chamber piece, albeit one soaked in wood and blood and philosophical musings on the nature of death Aug 22, 2025 Full Review Dennis Harvey Variety A densely textured, quite gorgeous dive into folkloric witchiness that avoids nearly all anticipated clichés, finally arriving at something not so much terrifying as unexpectedly poignant. Aug 1, 2025 Full Review Jennie Kermode Eye for Film If there were any justice in the world, Toby Poser would be in the running for major awards for her performance. Rated: 5/5 Aug 29, 2025 Full Review Matt Lynch In Review Online [The Adams family] tend to be more thoughtful... than what usually hits the festival circuit... Mother of Flies, is no exception, though the crew may be getting to the point where it’s time to expand their horizons into something more elaborate. Aug 12, 2025 Full Review Hunter Bush MovieJawn The gorgeous cinematography accentuates the tranquility of the woods, heightening the disquieting undercurrent that hums underneath everything, allowing for scares that bloom before you like a dark flower... Aug 9, 2025 Full Review Rebecca Sayce FILMHOUNDS Magazine It's a raw, bloody, and magical masterpiece that is the culmination of more than a decade of genre filmmaking for the Adams Family, and one that will be hard to forget. Rated: 5/5 Aug 6, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
