The Mother (2023) | Ratings & Reviews

"Enjoyably silly..."

Hollywood ReporterHollywood Reporter

"(Lopez and Caro bring) a personal touch to old pulp archetypes."

Los Angeles TimesLos Angeles Times

"(A) gross, cringey gorefest..."

ABCABC

"Jennifer Lopez can do it all — except play a convincing mercenary..."

Chicago Sun-TimesChicago Sun-Times

"There’s some real ChatGPT film-making here in this abjectly formulaic and inert Netflix thriller..."

The GuardianThe Guardian

"One of the film’s guilty pleasures becomes anticipating when a mansplainer will get hushed."

The New York TimesThe New York Times

"Ridiculous..."

DeciderDecider

"Either enhanced or undermined, take your pick, by its unintentional giggles."

CNNCNN

"Not the Jenny-with-the-glock thriller you hoped for..."

Rolling StoneRolling Stone

"Lopez... elevates it to a level of watchability..."

ColliderCollider

"Yes, this is a genre exercise and nothing else. But, to be fair, if you’re doing the thing, there’s a certain virtue to just unapologetically doing the thing."

Chicago ReaderChicago Reader

"Lacking the velocity and excitement of an action movie and the reality of good drama, The Mother is the worst of both worlds."

San Francisco ChronicleSan Francisco Chronicle

"If you approach it in the right spirit, The Mother could be ridiculously good fun."

Time MagazineTime Magazine

"So-so..."

Slash FilmSlash Film

"Lopez translates her background as a dancer into gritty action choreography with the ease of a seasoned professional."

RogerEbert.comRogerEbert.com

"Passable..."

SalonSalon

"Serviceble, if forgettable..."

Empire MagazineEmpire Magazine

"Lopez glides through all the bloodletting and occasional moments of rumination like a star, because she is one."

Chicago TribuneChicago Tribune

"Decent but a tad too restrained..."

A.V. ClubA.V. Club

"Lopez barrels through the forgettable plot with a stony expression on her face, almost as if she is angry about the indignity of what she is being made to do."
