What to Know

Critics Consensus

Our Mothers (Nuestras Madres) sometimes struggles between telling a story and delivering a message, but its flaws are outweighed by writer-director César Diaz's raw honesty.

Wendy Ide Observer (UK) Simply but powerfully examines a country’s relationship with its traumatic past. Rated: 3/5 May 13, 2024 Full Review Cath Clarke Guardian A more traditional “issue” drama would force a big confrontation between mother and son, but here it plays out in a lower key, in a humane film that feels deeply respectful towards the real-life survivors. Rated: 3/5 May 6, 2024 Full Review Chris Hewitt Minneapolis Star Tribune For a brief movie, "Our Mothers" packs a lot in. Rated: 3/4 Apr 30, 2020 Full Review William Stottor Loud and Clear Reviews In the remarkably restrained film Our Mothers, César Diaz highlights the historical suffering and present day pain caused by the Guatemalan Civil War. Rated: 4/5 Sep 3, 2024 Full Review Rudie Obias Battle Royale With Cheese It’s a simple movie, but with a massive scope of history and the human experience — the kindness and the cruelty that come with it. May 26, 2024 Full Review Adam Sweeting The Arts Desk Director Cesar Diaz’s debut feature film was made on a modest budget and confines its running time to a crisp 78 minutes, but its impact is like being hit over the head with a sandbag. Rated: 4/5 May 13, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
