The Mother is a 2023 American action thriller film directed by Niki Caro with a screenplay by Misha Green, Andrea Berloff and Peter Craig, from a story by Green. The film stars Jennifer Lopez, Joseph Fiennes, Omari Hardwick, Lucy Paez and Gael GarcΓa Bernal.
Directed by Mickey Caro, Jennifer Lopez’sΒ starrer The Mother does not offer anything new in terms of story. A hot take on classic spy thrillers, the film puts a premium on the mother-daughter scenario. But what holds the film back is not the sensibility work. The lack of depth in the emotional scenes and the lack of clarity as a spy thriller make the film tragic.
Even when technical soundness is shown, the film does not do justice to the mother-daughter sentiment or the spy thriller genre. The film does not offer exciting scenes or thrilling moments. Like the Bond-Bourn series, The Mother is a tragic failure by creating a loose setup in a spy background and concentrating on the daughter-daughter sentiment. Jennifer Lopez’s excellent performance was not enough to save the film.
Bottomline
Dull and Misfired!!
