      Critics Consensus

      Stage Mother teeters awkwardly on stereotypes, but Jacki Weaver's performance makes this culture clash dramedy difficult to dismiss.

      Kate Taylor Globe and Mail Today, homophobia may still blight many a queen's family relations, but Stage Mother feels dated and formulaic. Rated: 1/4 Aug 22, 2020 Full Review Monica Castillo RogerEbert.com A sweet but ineffective comedy that cashes in on drag culture's new mainstream fame. Rated: 2/4 Aug 21, 2020 Full Review Tara Brady Irish Times Glittery, old-fashioned and big-hearted. Rated: 3/5 Aug 14, 2020 Full Review Dallas King Flick Feast What it might lack in terms of camp and chaos, it makes up for in heart. Don’t drag your heels, just sashay away to the cinema to feel the warm embrace of the Stage Mother. Rated: 3/5 Nov 12, 2022 Full Review Dan Bayer Next Best Picture Never feels like the best version of itself. It’s charming and heartwarming when you view it from a certain angle; it’s funny in a cute way but never in a laugh-out-loud way; it has no visual style to speak of but is never unpleasant to look at. Rated: 5/10 May 13, 2022 Full Review Victoria Luxford Dirty Movies (Set in) an idealised world that wraps you up in easy solutions, and good humour. The film becomes a comforting lets-put-on-a-show dramedy, where everyone pitches in to turn the clubs fortunes around, and learns a little something on the way. Rated: 2.5/5 Feb 17, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

      E-N D Cute movie - great for quiet night at home. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/24/24 Full Review Daniel O Really a touchy story. Well done and great plot Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/22/23 Full Review Roy A Cheesy? Yes. Predictable? Sure. Did I love every minute of it? Absolutely. Too bad the people who *should* see this movie probably never will. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/02/23 Full Review adam h A heartwarming film that had me doubled over in laughter one minute and sobbing the next. The film starts a little slow and at first I didn't think I was going to get into it but I'm glad I stuck it out. The mother was one of my favorite characters I've seen in a while. The mother members of the LGBTQ+ community dream of having. I seriously recommend watching, just keep a box of tissues handy. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/03/23 Full Review Dom R the mother everyone would wish for... heartwarming movie... Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/20/23 Full Review Dorene R I loved that it was true to drag and tell a story that facing and navigating grief is universal no matter who you are. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/13/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
