Dan Friedman The Forward I went to see This Is My Mother based on little more than trust in the NYJFF curators and a fascination with the work of French (Tunisian, Jewish) actress Jaoui. I was not disappointed: Jaoui is the heart of the film, making a watchable film unmissable. Aug 26, 2025 Full Review Frank J. Avella The Contending Award-winning writer-director-actor Agnès Jaoui delivers yet another tour de force performance in Julien Carpentier’s engrossing tale of familial strife...So begins a deeply affecting whirlwind story of love, pain, grief, anxiety and karaoke bonding.

Orly B I was deeply touched by this wonderful story of the mother-son bond full of suffering, love, care, ambivalence. Both actors gave an excellent performance while the flowers and the language of flowers, added a spiritual lever of majic and joy. I was also very impressed with the human sensitive face of psychiatry indicating the crucial need for high quality social services. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/28/25 Full Review Read all reviews
