Critics Consensus

Otherhood wastes its three talented leading actresses on a forgettable dramedy about motherhood that lacks humor and feels forced.

This story is charming but realistic. It will appeal particularly to mothers who miss their children who have grown up.

Chicago Reader

For a film directed and written by a woman, its plot is shamefully backward.

Otherhood relies on resentful child shaming to communicate a tiring portrait of meddling mothers as martyrs.

What makes it feel slightly heftier is that each of these actresses are terrific.

This movie would've worked so much better had the three women spent more time together, but still worth a watch for Angela Bassett, who manages to still rise above the lackluster material.

Rated: 2.5/5

A good Netflix film... [has] some of that Sex and the City vibe.

Culture Mix

A better movie would have had the three mothers focusing less on trying to manipulate their sons' love lives and more on the mothers trying to genuinely reconnect with their sons by trying to understand what makes them happy in their current lives.
