Special Review For Movie I'm Glad My Mother Is Alive
The narrative easily goes back and forth in time; despite its Oedipal subtext, it avoids exploitation. Stellar performances by Rottiers and Cattani help keep the movie on track.
V.A. Musetto-New York Post Miller gets points for using a bit of narrative sketchiness to good effect...
Joe Dziemianowicz-New York Daily News One of the film's strengths is its detached, even-handed view of someone whose turbulence and fits of rage are ultimately inexplicable, as is often the case in real life.
Stephen Holden-New York Times Focuses, unsurprisingly, on family ties, although the kind you'll find here are more likely to choke than comfort.
Sam Adams-Time Out New York Even with this blunt treatment of the material, Rottiers appears lost and unsure, never really settling into his overdetermined role.
Melissa Anderson-Village Voice Titillating, thought-provoking, confidently made, involving and well-written and paced all accurately describe this wonderful film.
Alan Diment-We Got This Covered A stirring French familial drama of simmering resentment, anchored by a searing performance from young Vincent Rottiers.
Brent Simon-Shockya.com Wrenching stuff, the kind of unrequited love story that, unfortunately, remains all too common in the real world.
Marshall Fine-Hollywood & Fine Rottiers is excellent at embodying someone who projects vulnerability most when he's attempting strength, and who continually, heartbreakingly searches his mother for signs of attachment or regrets that fail to surface.
Alison Willmore-AV Club A smoothly fractured history of a broken mother-son relationship, which even in its climactic tragedy keeps messy emotions at arm's length.
Bill Weber-Slant Magazine [Claude] Miller is a master of oh-my-God moments that at first seem to come out of nowhere but have been carefully calibrated ..., and here there are plenty.
