The Other Tom Ratings & Reviews
Nuha Hassan (Medium)
Nuha Hassan
It shines a light on the harrowing circumstances that single mothers and children with mental disorders are subjected to due to their socioeconomic backgrounds.
Film Threat
Andrew Stover
Plá and Santullo cleverly avoid sentimentality and predictability by taking a more discreet and subtle direction that doesn't have a clear destination.
Spirituality & Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
Poignant story of a mother trying to decide what is the best approach for dealing with her son who has ADHD.
Eye for Film
Jennie Kermode
The characters are beautifully drawn, the relationship between mother and son forming the bedrock of the film.
Spectrum Culture
Josh Goller
This film about a struggling single mother and her rambunctious child plays like a less vivid version of The Florida Project, with stilted writing and stiff performances unfortunately sapping the drama of its emotional impact.
New York Times
Concepción de León
The film, directed by Laura Santullo and Rodrigo Plá, ultimately falls flat, with unconvincing dialogue and a strained delivery by the actors.
NYC Movie Guru
Avi Offer
A warm, genuinely poignant story about a mother's unconditional love for her son.
AIPT
Nathaniel Muir
The Other Tom is more about shining a light on an issue than giving any answers. Filmmakers Rodrigo Pla and Laura Santallo also tackle the microaggressions that come with class and gender. It is a somber look at people that are often forgotten ignored.
Always Good Movies
Filipe Freitas
The Other Tom disappoints when it comes to pacing and sins for its length, but we must recognize in Plá and Santullo a fierce desire to battle the system and its injustices.
The Weekend Warrior (Substack)
Edward Douglas
Just a wonderful movie, and I have a feeling its the tip of the iceberg of the great cinema coming from South of the Border.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
The sympathetic characterizations of the unfortunates won me over, in this open-ended film that was well-acted by the leads.
Variety
Guy Lodge
A quiet, character-driven drama that builds to a suspended, even nebulous conclusion.
Kristen Maldonado
Kristen Maldonado
Compelling story [but] inconsistent in both the storytelling and acting.
Screen Zealots
Louisa Moore
There will never be an easy answer to the problem of overmedicating children, but the film raises important questions on both sides and should get audiences talking.
Cine Sin Fronteras
Rene Sanchez
An absorbing and genuine story about the uncaring and broken systems supposed to protect the well-being of children. [Full Review in Spanish]
The Film Stage
Jared Mobarak
The Other Tom is thus rendered a conversation ender. It shuts every argument down just like Elena does and Tom is left suffering alone.
What She Said
Anne Brodie
An utter heartbreaker.
Backseat Mafia
Rob Aldam
A moving film about a single mother wrestling with the mounting bureaucracy which threatens to tear them apart.
