      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      The Good Mother has dramatic potential, a talented cast, and deals with important subjects -- but none of that's enough to compensate for the movie's drearily underwhelming story.

      Rex Reed Observer Not a bad film, just a dull and inconsequential one. here today and gone tomorrow. Rated: 2.5/4 Oct 20, 2023 Full Review Tim Cogshell FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) It explains a lot to you, and it does in fact have this twist -- and it's going to do anything it needs to do to get there. Oct 3, 2023 Full Review Katie Rife RogerEbert.com The Good Mother starts with a gunshot and ends with a whimper. Rated: 2/4 Sep 1, 2023 Full Review Paula Vázquez Prieto La Nación (Argentina) The film stumbles into a ditch of absurd twists, forgetting characters that seemed important, and manipulating motivations and coincidences, all to build an intrigue that turns out to be nothing more than a ruse. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 2/5 Mar 28, 2024 Full Review Emiliano Basile EscribiendoCine If the conventional structure can be detected ahead of time by the seasoned viewer, the film still offers an intense and captivating look at the dark side of motherhood and the complexities of crime and justice. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 6/10 Mar 26, 2024 Full Review Pete Vonder Haar Houston Press Remind me; which one is the "good" mother, exactly? Marissa is still wallowing in widowhood and is largely distant from her kids when Michael gets killed, while Paige is doing her best to pick up the pieces and get to the bottom of his murder.
