Anchored by a fantastically assured Clara Rugaard, I Am Mother is a speculative springboard for rich discussions about prosthetic nurturing and the moral cost of engineering the greater good. December 11, 2019 | Full Review…

I Am Mother has a simple narrative but one that is executed with skill and flair. The cinematography, lighting, sound work and acting all come together to deliver a satisfying movie. August 17, 2019 | Rating: 8.5/10 | Full Review…

A movie that's apparently all about motherhood and female connection (and maybe a little about abortion?) was completely written, directed, and executive-produced by men. July 29, 2019 | Full Review…

It's not a wildly imaginative film, but like a lot of Netflix fare, it's a serviceable, well-acted, entertaining and at times intriguing film. June 27, 2019 | Full Review…

The real problem, here and in many original Netflix films, is that emotional means are lacking, and the artificially created mother-daughter relationship has, paradoxically, the same effect of artifice. [Full review in Spanish] June 24, 2019 | Full Review…

It's an exciting film to watch, but an even better one to think about after - preferably in the company of a real, physically present person. June 20, 2019 | Full Review…
