- Synopsis
- May (Anne Reid) is an ordinary grandmother from the suburbs. When her husband dies, she recedes into the background of her busy, metropolitan children's lives. Stuck in an unfamiliar city, May fears that her life is more or less over. Until, that is, she falls for Darren, a man half her age who is renovating her son's house and sleeping with her daughter.

- Critics' reviews
-
-
"The Mother bravely and intelligently tackles subject matter widely ignored in cinema--the sexuality of a plain-looking woman edging toward the twilight of a life of quiet desperation."
-
"Finally, we have found ourselves in a movie where the characters are free to blunder, even if it means turning their backs on us. There's powerful liberation in that, all around."
-
"A portrait of a contempo British family drifting apart because of generational differences, The Mother ends up an uneasy brew of too many competing tastes and themes."
-
"It's a remarkable film--one to gnaw at you and keep you up at night."
-
"'The Mother' peers so fearlessly into the dark needs of human nature that you almost wish it would look away. It's very disturbing."
-
"A promising film that is dragged down by the weight of its gray morbidity."
