Critic Reviews

Isn't for the kiddies. It probably isn't for anyone not interested in the darkest corners of the human psyche.Full Review

Ty Burr
Boston Globe

Ma Mere, with its sun-drenched sense of dread and band of reckless, unlikable characters, isn't very good, but that doesn't stop the actors -- especially the intrepid Huppert -- from going all the way.Full Review

Steven Rea
Philadelphia Inquirer

Director Christophe Honore's respectable, tightly coiled, but ultimately unrewarding adaptation of Georges Bataille's posthumous novel.Full Review

Scott Foundas
Variety

Ma Mre, while less prudish than Catherine Breillat's dour deconstructions of sex, is also less competent. It winds up making incest look absurdly swank.Full Review

Owen Gleiberman
Entertainment Weekly

Yet another stylish exercise in depravity in which Huppert floats through the sordid proceedings in a calm haze. If only the film she inhabits was as sexy as it aspires to be.Full Review
