Mother of Mine

Ratings & Reviews

Mark Tallo

Heart breaking.

Jules E Evans

This movie is an authentic of portrayal of unsaid behavior and subtle rectitude. I am thoroughly moved. /Mother of Mine/ rendered such genuine feelings inside me. Scenes wrenched heavy tears in my eyes. In large, the cinematography is affective. Though, too many obscured scenes, in which set design intentionally blocks a character from view. Really, I have to hand it to the actors, namely Maria Lundqvist. Bravo.

A behind the scenes story, the domino effects of war.

The relationships between Russia & Finland &Germany & Finland during WWII are the background & the only interesting aspect of this film.

Spielberg is like a virus. I could feel the sentimental schmaltz from the very first note. MUBI, what's up with all the Nazis?

Matthew Chuckran

I dunno. This movie is a little corny, but it works.

A Finnish boy is involuntarily separated from his Mother during WWII and temporarily given to a Swedish couple whose wife doesn’t want him. On a deeper level, it’s the story of two Mom’s whose kids are taken away; one to protect a life, and one whose life was taken away. Good story that mixes the past with the present, and the lingering impact past events can have on lives.

I was easily drawn in by such magnificent performances. I love Michael Nyqvist, and the child actor was also very good, but Maria Lundqvist as Mama Signe is incredible. I also learned a little bit out an aspect of WWII history that was previously unknown to me. Excellent all around.

One of the best coming of age films that I have ever seen. This film defines the meaning of a Mother.The acting and cinematography was brilliant and it made you care about every character in it. I can't give enough praise to this masterfully done film.
