The Good Mother Reviews
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
The Good Mother is one of the most confused and conflicted serious movies in a long time -- a film that feels great passion about its subject matter but has no idea what it wants to say or how to say it.
New York Times
Janet Maslin
For all its potential to challenge and disturb, The Good Mother is finally no more wrenching than a placid Maine landscape on a summer day.
eFilmCritic.com
Scott Weinberg
Could have been standard "Lifetime Channel" material, but Keaton and company deliver some great work.
New Times
Gregory Weinkauf
Spock and Qui-Gon kick *** at showing feelings.
Variety
Variety Staff
The traumatic subject matter of a child custody fight is handled with restraint and intelligence in The Good Mother.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
One more nail in the coffin of the 60s.
Washington Post
Hal Hinson
Even shackled to banalities, Keaton has the power to amaze.
Sojourner
Kathi Maio
Keaton is never completely convincing as either the "before" or "after" Anna.
Spirituality & Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
A thought-provoking film about single parenting, sexual mores and the tendency in our society to allow lawyers and judges to settle questions of personal values.
Southern Voice (Atlanta)
Ray Hesse
Perhaps the number's simple existence was the point It's there, and in and of itself it may mean nothing, but anyone who sees it can make anything of it he or she wants.
