The Eyes of My Mother Ratings & Reviews
RogerEbert.com
Simon Abrams
Pesce and I obviously don't agree on what constitutes effective (or maybe just productive) ambiguity. It's not a bad film ... it just isn't all there.
Rolling Stone
David Fear
This is what curdled Americana looks like - a Joel-Peter Witkin portfolio come to life and a vision of jus' folks weaned on isolation, madness, and good old Type O.
San Diego Reader
Matthew Lickona
Writer-director Nicolas Pesce's debut feels unnervingly like a Diane Arbus photo that's been stretched into a film. Which is to say, it's unnerving.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
Shot in black-and-white video, the 76-minute horror film benefits from crisp, striking visuals that are well framed and moodily lit. But that's about all this absurd, illogical and underwhelming thriller has going for it.
Black Girl Nerds
Valerie Complex
As this generation's version of Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho, the movie provides something I've seen on few occasions in cinema.
Vox
Alissa Wilkinson
The Eyes of My Mother is effective and unsettling, and as a first movie from Pesce, promises much more in the future.
Reel Talk Online
Candice Frederick
With The Eyes of My Mother, Pesce explores the nature of human instinct and arrested development in a way that is uncomfortable to watch yet immersive just the same.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
The Eyes of My Mother is a riveting, repugnant work of repellent art, Pesce crafting a gracefully unnerving calling card sure to be debated and discussed for some time to come.
The Blue Lenses
Alexandra Heller-Nicholas
The Eyes of My Mother is an insightful, meaningful, and exquisitely beautiful horror film, and undoubtedly one of the genre's most important offerings of 2016.
The Verge
Tasha Robinson
[Pesce] creates some extreme beauty out of ugliness, and he builds amazing tension out of quiet moments and simple movement.
Film Comment Magazine
Jonathan Romney
Pesce undeniably has a vision and a mastery very much his own.
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
Ms. Magalhaes, a former dancer, uses her expressive eyes and graceful limbs to bring the intimacy and sensuality of her actions to vivid life.
NPR
Andrew Lapin
The Eyes of My Mother is the rare [horror] entry to give depth to its destructive force, to force those new eyes onto us and make us truly believe the terror of what we see.
Los Angeles Times
Justin Chang
At once briskly and deliberately paced, sustaining a precise narrative clarity even as it seems to flow with the logic of a nightmare, "The Eyes of My Mother" confounds expectations and defies easy categorization.
Chicago Reader
Leah Pickett
The film benefits from Zach Kuperstein's moody black-and-white cinematography and the stark compositions, but the unrelenting ugliness and senselessness of the piece negate its occasional touches of minimalist beauty.
Entertainment Weekly
Chris Nashawaty
Pesce's beautifully photographed but aggressively unpleasant art-house horror film will no doubt have its champions, but it won't find one here.
IndieWire
Eric Kohn
Fusing classic horror ingredients with haunting gothic imagery and expressionistic dread, The Eyes of My Mother mashes its gorgeous components into a shockingly original tone poem.
San Francisco Chronicle
G. Allen Johnson
Certainly, it stands out among a crowded horror marketplace, and is one of the most unusual horror films I've seen in a while. It is also sometimes very hard to watch.
AV Club
A.A. Dowd
If Ingmar Bergman had helmed The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, it might look something like this exquisite nightmare.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Bilge Ebiri
A sick, simmering nightmare of a movie.
