The symbiosis between mother and daughter is by turns appalling, charming and endearing.

This documentary focuses on one woman's quest to understand her past, which means forgiving her proud, formidable mother, Mildred. Gayle Kirschenbaum's examination of her family results in a humorous, moving, intimate and courageous film following the transformation of an abusive mother and tumultuous mother-daughter relationship to that of acceptance and love.
We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.

What are critics saying?
Los Angeles Times by Gary Goldstein
"Mother" is definitely worth a look as an involving exercise in parental indiscretion, unexamined and over-examined lives, and a nostalgic look at East Coast Jewish culture.
The New York Times by Ken Jaworowski
For a movie that promises an “epic journey” to explore a family’s “long-buried suffering,” it’s strangely unsatisfying, and eventually wearisome, to find that this clan is deeply troubled perhaps only in the eyes of its filmmaker.
Village Voice by Monica Castillo
Gayle's good-natured fight to reconcile with a person who sees nothing wrong with her own behavior proves both a fascinating character study and an intimate portrayal of a mother's love turned hostile.
