What to Know

Critics Consensus

Otherhood wastes its three talented leading actresses on a forgettable dramedy about motherhood that lacks humor and feels forced.

Marissa De La Cerda Chicago Reader For a film directed and written by a woman, its plot is shamefully backward. Feb 20, 2020 Full Review Roxana Hadadi Pajiba Otherhood relies on resentful child shaming to communicate a tiring portrait of meddling mothers as martyrs. Sep 19, 2019 Full Review Amy Nicholson FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) What makes it feel slightly heftier is that each of these actresses are terrific. Aug 23, 2019 Full Review Ruth Maramis FlixChatter Film Blog This movie would've worked so much better had the three women spent more time together, but still worth a watch for Angela Bassett, who manages to still rise above the lackluster material. Rated: 2.5/5 Sep 5, 2023 Full Review Lonita Cook KCTV5 News at 9 A good Netflix film... [has] some of that Sex and the City vibe. Sep 29, 2021 Full Review Carla Hay Culture Mix A better movie would have had the three mothers focusing less on trying to manipulate their sons' love lives and more on the mothers trying to genuinely reconnect with their sons by trying to understand what makes them happy in their current lives.

Brayan s Now and days everyone acts like they know how to judge a movie. Most of the people complaining about this film are people who have nothing better than to watch a movie so they can talk bad about it just bc it’s not their style. It’s crazy how people have high standards for movies that are made for Netflix like if you want a good movie go to the theaters. They act like the actresses are A listers. Watch the film it’s not a bad movie I laughed at times, connected to at times, and at times I felt they could do a little better but overall the film is welcoming and has a good message and they did good for a netflix movie. Judge the film for yourself don’t listen to these boring bad judges who probably don’t even know how to judge a movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/28/24 Full Review Dr. Dagmar E. N Maybe bcs Im a mother of a son, I could relate and laugh a lot! Good movie! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/22/24 Full Review Wing It's not a good movie for me. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 04/04/23 Full Review Andy L Fantastic movie truly recommend u to watch Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/04/23 Full Review Jojo P awesome story warmpup Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/04/23 Full Review Martin Geoffrey H This story is charming but realistic. It will appeal particularly to mothers who miss their children who have grown up. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/04/23 Full Review Read all reviews
