Mia Madre explores thought-provoking themes with director/co-writer Nanni Moretti's reliably skillful blend of comedy and pathos.

The general air of quiet intelligence throws the occasional outbursts of loud emotion into affecting relief, and John Turturro shines as the sort of unintentionally difficult star he doesn't seem like he'd be in real life. Sep 9, 2016 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

Moretti knows how to orchestrate a good laugh when it's needed, but he can plumb more soulful, sorrowful depths, too. Sep 2, 2016 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

This is a movie that doesn't quite come together, on both thematic and tonal levels, even though most individual scenes are competently acted and engaging. Sep 1, 2016 | Full Review…

This delicate human drama is constantly interrupted by the altogether ordinary and often unfunny satire on making a film. Apr 5, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

Most of the movie plays like a wet-noodle version of 8 1/2, with reality, memory and dream colliding in a way that only Nanni Moretti could make so pedestrian. Apr 5, 2019 | Rating: 2.5/5 | Full Review…

Mia Madre invokes shades of Fellini's 8 1/2 with tale of a creator dealing with an existential crisis and is only amplified by some of the film's many dream sequences. Oct 31, 2018 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…

Margherita Buy is terrific in the lead, possessing a face one never tires of watching in close up, and Turturro delivers a wickedly funny portrait of an actor who cannot get enough of himself. Aug 23, 2018 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

Operating with an impeccable sense of restraint, Moretti has created a work of great sincerity and unshowy insight. Nov 21, 2017 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

John Turturro, over the top.
Harvey S. Karten
A very touching character study that perfectly blends a serious and suffocating drama with hilarious moments of humor that are never intrusive but instead helps shape the whole meta-narrative purpose of what Moretti wants to say, including his feelings about his own work.
Super Reviewer
Dreadfully maudlin and superficial piece, mainly just a star vehicle for the unconvincing leads, who are improbably cast and deliver their lines as if they are apologising to the audience because the actors don't believe any of it and wish they were elsewhere. One star for several of the support cast who manage to anchor the film in places.
