B-
“Mother” is on a mission that, its bold stylistic flourishes notwithstanding, isn’t ultimately forceful or persuasive... What does come through is Noomi Rapace’s accessible interpretation of Teresa. Go to Full Review Tim Grierson Screen International Aug 27
Frustratingly, because too much of Mother’s storytelling feels overheated and superficially sensational, Mitevska fails to achieve the bold reconsideration she intends. Go to Full Review Xan Brooks Guardian Aug 27
3/5
Mother veers on and off the path of righteousness, constantly summoned back to its duties of presenting a faithful, fact-based account of its subject. But it’s at its best and most fun when it plays like a giallo horror movie. Go to Full Review James Mottram Radio Times Jan 21
3/5
A way of bringing the story into the present, perhaps, but it feels messy. Fortunately, Rapace brings great focus, commitment and swagger to her performance at the centre of a film seemingly designed to polarise. Go to Full Review Sarah Manvel Movies We Texted About Oct 4
Either a fascinating angle to take in a story about a nun, or a ridiculously limiting approach to gendered personhood that has no place in 2025. The great surprise of Mother is that it just about manages to have its cake and eat it. Go to Full Review Diego Batlle Otroscines.com Aug 28
3/5
[Noomi Rapace] is the main dramatic and artistic support of a film set almost 80 years ago but with a modern (even with a certain feminist imprint) perspective. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Read all reviews
