Critic Reviews

The film is a deeply compelling portrait of how intense loss shapes our behavior, our perspective, and most importantly, ourselves.

Rodrigo Sorogoyen’s feature-length Madre contemplates how memories of loss linger and distort the present.

Madre turns out to be the least twisted, and most empathetic, entry in the damaged mother movie canon in some time.

The result is an unusually compelling character study, one that, commendably, opts to end on a humane note rather than a dark judgment.
