Like most Netflix movies, no matter what The Mother would be a perfectly serviceable thing to have on in the background while you tidied the…

Review of The Mother (2023)

By Noel Murray (1,901) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 12 May 2023

From scene to scene, Lopez and Caro do fill these broad outlines with real feeling, bringing a personal touch to old pulp archetypes…

Review of The Mother (2023)

By Stephanie Zacharek (2,333) for Time (1,811) on 12 May 2023

The Mother would be more effective if she could wink at the audacity of the material instead of just playing it all straight…

Review of The Mother (2023)

By Richard Roeper (2,737) for Chicago Sun-Times (7,580) on 12 May 2023

I’m not going to spoil the epilogue in the slick but trashy and quite dumb Jennifer Lopez action movie The Mother, but I will say it’s…

Review of The Mother (2023)

By Lindsey Bahr (430) for The Associated Press (882) on 12 May 2023

The most interesting part of The Mother, a decent if forgettable action pic starring Jennifer Lopez, is the one that is left largely unexplored…

Review of The Mother (2023)

By David Fear (910) for Rolling Stone (4,035) on 12 May 2023

So much of The Mother feels like a movie star doing an imitation of what they think a tough, serious, jaded hero is like rather than actually…

Review of The Mother (2023)

By Roger Moore (6,008) for Movie Nation (3,875) on 12 May 2023

The Mother is watchable, here and there. Decently acted. Over-the-top, but not far enough over it to make it fun…

Review of The Mother (2023)

By Brian Lowry (913) for CNN (497) on 12 May 2023

Review of The Mother (2023)

By Mick Lasalle (3,303) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 12 May 2023

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

Review of The Mother (2023)

By Marya E. Gates (65) for The Playlist (3,871) on 12 May 2023

Unfortunately [Lopez's] hampered by a character that is simultaneously overwritten and underwritten, while trapped in a film that never gives…

Review of The Mother (2023)

Jennifer Lopez and all the mothers out there deserve better than this gross, cringey gorefest about a military-trained assassin (JLo) who makes…

Review of The Mother (2023)

By Krisjlo (1) on 12 May 2023

JLO IS THE MOTHER!!! Such an amazing film that keeps you on the edge of your seat from start to finish…

Review of The Mother (2023)

By Jude Dry (205) for IndieWire (3,631) on 11 May 2023

If they can look past their own internal biases, The Mother should satisfy even the most diehard action fans, while leaving the door to some new ones…

Review of The Mother (2023)

By Jesse Hassenger (800) for Paste Magazine (2,906) on 11 May 2023

Lopez indulges a different form of movie-star vanity than simply making herself over as an unstoppable woman of action…

Review of The Mother (2023)

By Tania Hussain (5) for Collider (1,032) on 11 May 2023

The character-driven action epic from director Niki Caro is at times imbalanced and lacks subtlety…

Review of The Mother (2023)

By Courtney Howard (393) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 11 May 2023

It’s decent but a tad too restrained for its own good…

Review of The Mother (2023)

By Owen Gleiberman (3,271) for Variety (12,700) on 11 May 2023
