What to Know

Critics Consensus

Like so many Mothers and Daughters' relationships, its heart is in the right place but this bubble bath of soapy stories slips into oblivion before the credits roll.

Roxana Hadadi Chesapeake Family Magazine Mothers and Daughters has so many clichés about the meaning of femininity that it's hard to keep track. Rated: 1.5/5 Aug 2, 2016 Full Review Rex Reed Observer The big problem is twofold: there are too many characters to keep up with, played by too many women who look too much alike. May 6, 2016 Full Review Linda Barnard Toronto Star First-time feature director Paul Duddridge seems determined to keep things superficial, while Paige Cameron's uninspired dialogue hardly helps. Rated: 1/4 May 6, 2016 Full Review Morgan Rojas Cinemacy It's a nice film, but most likely not to be remembered after it's opening day. Aug 6, 2018 Full Review Todd Jorgenson Cinemalogue There's no chance of genuine emotional investment in these characters amid the aggressively heavy-handed contrivances, trite platitudes and eye-rolling conflict resolutions. Jun 17, 2016 Full Review David Noh Film Journal International Just in time for Mother's Day, a film you should take Mom to...if you hate her. May 9, 2016 Full Review Read all reviews

Steve D A bunch of bickering underdeveloped characters. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/06/24 Full Review adam b A terrible film that was made in the likeness of a soap opera. Do not watch Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Mothers and daughters is a drama movie that talks about the different lifes of different mothers and how they solve their problems in New York City. Great work that Paul Duddridge and Nigel Levy have done directing this movie. The movie is starring by Courteney Cox playing Beth, the 90's TV series Friends star; Susan Sarandon playing Millie, since the 70's an amazing Hollywood star, nominated 5 times to the Oscars, and winner of a Golden Globe and an Emmy; and other great actors and actresses like Selma Blair as Rigby, Christina Ricci as Rebecca and Sharon Stone as Nina, all of them having great performances in this great movie. It should be noted the fact that this movie is the great product of the hard work of all the production team. Mothers and Daughters shows cases of real life, really important, like misbirth, adoption, getting pregnant too young, and it shows that there is nothing more important than the love of the family. The movie has an excellent production team, the cinematography takes an important place in this movie, they choose the right places and the right type of camera takes. On the other hand, the lights and soundtrack are impressive, they are perfect for the moment and makes you feel the same. There are many great scenes where you feel like you just want to know what happens and it's just great because you get into the movie. Finally, I recommend this movie to everyone, because it explains really life cases, which must be taken with seriousness and responsibility. This movie, front my point of view, deserves a 9 out of 10. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member A bizarrely misogynistic film Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member So much Botox and garbage acting... was bored in the first 15 minutes. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member An amazing movie that depicts the love between mothers and daughters. So well acted and scripted and understanding of a mothers heart!!
