Mia Madre Ratings & Reviews
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
Moretti and his actors establish a kind of instant empathy that makes the story all the more affecting.
San Diego Reader
Matthew Lickona
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.
Austin Chronicle
Kimberley Jones
Ma Madre is effective in dramatizing the familiar paces adult children go through tending to their parents: the hospital indignities, confused consults with doctors, and helplessness at encroaching dementia.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
Moretti knows how to orchestrate a good laugh when it's needed, but he can plumb more soulful, sorrowful depths, too.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
Fortunately the movie-production scenes deliver plenty of laughs, courtesy of John Turturro.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
The biggest reason to see the Italian dramedy "Mia Madre" can be summed up in two words: John Turturro.
San Francisco Chronicle
David Lewis
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.
The New Yorker
Richard Brody
A story that, for all its well-crafted and sharply observed drama and its flamboyant comedy, is something more than a work of personal cinema-it's a virtual manifesto for it ...
Collider
Kristen Yoonsoo Kim
For a drama about death, it's also incredibly funny-not just wry funny, but also body humor funny-making for an interesting mix. Moretti is able to pull it off masterfully, and with heart.

Simon Abrams
Italian drama Mia Madre is an either/or film, a humorous and poignant character study that frequently becomes an ensemble piece.
New York Times
Manohla Dargis
Love, death, cinema - they're all there in "Mia Madre," bumping up against one another beautifully.
Wall Street Journal
John Anderson
An emotionally satisfying fusion of the mixed up and the magical.
NPR
Mark Jenkins
Mia Madre is most poignant when it finds a tone much like Moretti's 2001 La Stanza del Figlio (The Son's Room). Both movies are gently bewildered meanders through denial, regret, and the beginnings of acceptance.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Abele
Tinged with the kind of honest sadness and comic frustrations that suggest a daily journal come to life.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
As considerable as her gifts may be, Buy is ultimately unable to hold "Mia Madre" together.
AV Club
Ignatiy Vishnevetsky
The most personal parts of Mia Madre are also the most thinly conceived.
Village Voice
Bilge Ebiri
Barry's preening self-regard and its counterpart, abject self-loathing, come across as rooted in vulnerability, inadequacy, alienation. You feel bad for this lonely guy, even as you laugh at him.
The New Yorker
Anthony Lane
Everything in "Mia Madre"-happenings, memories, and idle fancies-feels deftly interleaved.
Movie Mezzanine
Odie Henderson
Mia Madre feels cold, indifferent and at times condescending toward its protagonist.
Slant Magazine
Ela Bittencourt
The film is a carefully measured and satisfying, albeit occasionally deaf-tone, suite of fleeting, dispersed impressions.
