The Eyes of My Mother (2016)

73

Based on 7 critic reviews provided by

91	Consequence of Sound Justin Gerber Though it doesn't end with quite the punctuation it deserves, The Eyes of My Mother is a beautiful nightmare from start to finish.
90	Variety Guy Lodge Pesce's spare script doesn't seek to obscure, but its quiet, matter-of-fact handling of drastic dramatic events will catch some off-guard.
83	The Playlist Noel Murray It's intense as hell, and a supreme example of how the morally repugnant can be made to look weirdly beautiful.
80	The Hollywood Reporter Boyd van Hoeij The Eyes of My Mother is both strange and strangely enthralling.
80	We Got This Covered Matt Donato There's a brooding tonal growth that Pesce is able to establish, as he unravels a film that becomes more horrific with each passing second.
50	The Film Stage Dan Mecca This film is so unabashedly, so unflinchingly evil that it is extremely impressive and extreme unlikeable.
20	The Guardian Lanre Bakare Pesce asks viewers to go along with the absurdity while offering nothing to justify any of it. It's a murder ballad gone out of tune.
