Son-Mother is an authentic representation of an essential human relationship that is torn apart, bit by bit, by people who think they're helping.

Hollywood Reporter

One of the saddest stories to come out of recent Iranian cinema, and that's saying a lot.

Globe and Mail

A simple story told simply, documentarian Mahnaz Mohammadi's entry into feature-length fiction filmmaking will break your heart, even if it may also move you to check your watch.

Rated: 2.5/4

Iranian director Mahnaz Mohammadi's Son-Mother is a feminist-influenced movie that exposes some of the conditions facing Iranian women, while directing its ire principally against the male population.

Vague Visages

Mohammadi's visual storytelling is impeccable, and there is nothing sensationalised about it in the slightest.

Eye for Film

[Mahan] Nasiri is remarkable as the boy at the centre of it all, a child who is withdrawing into himself in the absence of reliable, consistent adult protection.

Rated: 4.5/5
