Danny Leigh Financial Times The great advantage of filmmakers as clear-eyed as the Dardennes is knowing they aren’t soft-soaping you when hope does appear. A further blessing is a film this quietly profound, about doing the right thing, or trying at least.  Rated: 5/5 Aug 28, 2025 Full Review Tara Brady Irish Times The strain of absent fathers, generational addiction and the cycle of poverty are carefully countered by resilience, love and the flicker of youthful possibility. Rated: 4/5 Aug 27, 2025 Full Review David Hughes Time Out Brings nothing new to the Dardennes’ canon, but there’s comfort in the familiarity of their methodology. They’ve always had a knack for coaxing tremendous performances from even the youngest of actors, and the cast here is uniformly excellent. Rated: 4/5 Aug 21, 2025 Full Review Markie Robson-Scott The Arts Desk ...[The Young Mother's Home is] an extraordinarily compelling picture of life in a maternal support home. Rated: 4/5 Sep 3, 2025 Full Review Emma Simmonds The List Outside of soap operas, teenage mothers aren’t granted much screen time, but with Young Mothers, the Dardennes take us beyond the hand-wringing headlines for a compassionate, really quite remarkable portrait of the challenges these girls face. Rated: 5/5 Sep 2, 2025 Full Review Alistair Harkness Scotsman Where recent films by the Dardenne brothers have been more plot driven, this one reverts to the more observational, character-driven style with which they made their name — and of which they’re still absolute masters.
