Pierre, a youth, comes from his grandmother's in France to stay with his parents in the Canary Islands. His father talks oddly about his lost youth and leaves abruptly for France. Mom promises to take Pierre to a nightclub, remarking that people will think he's her lover. He prays. His father dies in France, and his mother wants him to empty his father's office; Pierre finds it full of pornography. His mother takes him in tow into a night world without morality, a world of sexual exploitation, exhibitionism, and wildness. What will Pierre make of this, and what, ultimately, will he make of his mother?
Leave your thoughts about Ma mère.
| Newark Star-LedgerStephen WhittyAbsurd at best, and most absurd when it's tiresomely trying to shock us. |
| Globe and MailLiam LaceyThe translation from the highly literary to the literalness of film isn't easy and too often, Ma Mère feels like a parody. |
| BBC.comJonathan TroutThe philosophising feels bolted on and the motivations of all the characters soon become simply too alien to comprehend. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyImagine you're a virginal adolescent and your mother is watching you having sex--this is one of the concerns of the shocking and perverse NC-17 French melodrama |
| Film Freak CentralBill ChambersMa mère could easily be mistaken for the latest anhedonic embarrassment out of Canada |
| Film Journal InternationalKevin AllisonMost of the screenplay consists of meandering and inebriated characters talking just as high-falutin'. |
| South Florida Sun-SentinelLaura KellyThis sexually messy, religiously infused film is a perfect example of the dregs of European cinema. |
| Philadelphia Daily NewsSono MotoyamaManages, while wallowing in bleak nihilism, to be simultaneously utterly perverse and hair-pullingly dull. |
| Toronto StarPeter HowellIt could stand as Exhibit A for why French auteurs are a tough sell to the average seeker of entertainment. |
| eFilmCritic.comErik ChildressFor all the posturing that sexually politicized Americans use to praise the French and their liberating attitudes towards funtime, why is it that their most sexually charged films do their best to sicken rather than explore or educate? |
