What to Know

Critics Consensus

Father Mother Sister Brother is a subtly haunting, wryly funny, and visually poised triptych that transforms the banal awkwardness of family life into a bittersweet meditation on the bonds that persist.

3/5
Everything is pleasant and fitfully amusing. In short, it is middling. Go to Full Review
Ian Freer Empire Magazine 6d
4/5
Closer to the gentle humanism of Paterson than Jarmusch’s cooler, ironic output, Father Mother Sister Brother is a small-scale and singular treat. Go to Full Review

Father Mother Sister Brother stands as a beautiful work from a genuinely gifted filmmaker, one whose perspective continues to feel strikingly relevant. Go to Full Review

It's a slow-moving film, but never less than thought-provoking. Go to Full Review
Erick Estrada Cinegarage 6d
It will probably make Jarmusch fans in general very happy, but it is by no means a film to get into if people are not familiar with this type of cinema. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

Bruce Mar 20 Very much enjoyed this. Perfect casting and some great symbolism and family dynamics on display See more Mike Jan 17 If you like Jim Jarmusch’s overall directing style and pacing you’ll like this movie. Very strong cast and vignettes that make a welcome alternative to the gory tentpoles splattering across screens right now. See more Brett K Jan 16 Back to classic Jarmusch. Three vignettes all dealing with family dynamics, warts and all. See more Ghederick Eshmont Jan 11 A brilliant, slow burn slice of life & family with impeccable acting See more Facebook U Jan 9 Nice movie with characters that we never really got to know. It was literally like visiting with 3 separate families to observe how they get along with no background or interaction. See more Justin Jan 9 I hate to writing negative reviews but this movie was so disappointing. First off I'm a fan of the director Jim Jarmusch. I loved most of his previous films with some of my favorites being Patterson, Broken Flowers, and Mystery Train. I can usually find something in all of his movies to enjoy but this is the first time I can honestly say that watching one of his movies felt like a complete waste of my time. "Father Mother Sister Brother" is the most boring movie I've ever seen in theaters. It was like watching paint dry. Honestly there wasn't a single thing I enjoyed about this film. I would only recommend this to fans of Jim Jarmusch and even then I'd go in with low expectations. See more Read all reviews
