Critic Reviews for Materna
All Critics (17) | Top Critics (6) | Fresh (12) | Rotten (5)
Materna feels like a hodgepodge of half-finished drafts from one-act plays, pompous short films, and dusty first screenplays.
Each section... leaves its mark...
What Materna tries to say on race, class, culture, and society remains all too vague and surface-level in its aftermath.
Sheil, Abdullina, Burdge and especially Eshete's performances are attuned to the material's fundamental air of incompleteness and instability.
Rarely do the filmmakers show people mutually affecting one another in cycles of pain and control, rather than blaming phantom figures.
A thought-provoking debut.
