		Mother India (played with incredible warmth by Nargis) is an allegory for Mother Earth who gives endlessly of herself yet demands obeisance to certain laws.
		Nargis was only 28 when Mother India was released but hers was the performance of a lifetime -- from a young bride with painted eyebrows to a matriarchal figure who doesn't seem to even run a comb through her hair.
		Mother India is fragrant with the loamy soils of rural India.

	MOTHER movie review
		John moves back in with his mother, gets all his old furnishings out of the garage, and tries to recreate the bedroom of his youth.
		Mother, meanwhile, seems befuddled, at least on the surface.
		Though psychologists and family therapists may find the film's ending too pat, it offers a satisfying conclusion to a film that is designed, after all, as a comic fable and not a serious case study of a dysfunctional family.

	The Mother Movie Review at Hollywood Video (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The Mother, Kureishi's new collaboration with director Roger Michell continues his exploration of human relations with the tale of a woman reclaiming her sexuality late in life, regardless of the consequences.
		Whether movie audiences trained to view sex as the province of the young, toned, lifted, and Botoxed will respond is an open question.
		The Mother could never have been made in the United States—the age difference is the roughly the same as between Vanessa Redgrave and Ben Affleck.

	Mother, The (2004): Reviews
		By turns expansive and astringent, The Mother is a portrait of a woman who, with the dazed courage of someone finally awakened to the world after decades of passivity and repression, keeps on walking.
		The Mother winds up unpersuasive, in large part due to writer Hanif Kureishi, who visits on all his mopey characters such calculated savagery, it's hard to care much for them or to get onboard for the hope implied in the hastily stitched-on ending.
		This movie is more art than criticism, more story than script; go see it and enjoy the rich experience of good stories and the realities of life-isms.

	Movie/Video Review: Mother
		"Mother" is a wonderful tale of a 43-year-old son who returns to his childhood home and actually moves back into his childhood room.
		Reynolds is perfect as Brooks mother, she is so natural she does not even appear to be acting.
		This is a wonderful movie for people of all ages and definitely a must-see for anyone with a mother.

	The Mother (movie) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Mother is a 2003 British movie directed by Roger Michell.
		She begins to embark on a passionate affair with Darren ( Daniel Craig), a handy man half her age who is renovating her son's house and is also her daughter's love interest.
		When her daughter finds out, she blames not only her dysfunctional relationship but also her messed up life on her poor mother.

	Chicago Reader Movie Review
		The movie recounts the activities over a few days of a dandyish French intellectual in his late 20s named Alexandre (Jean-Pierre Leaud), who's living with and supported by his lover, Marie (Bernadette Lafont); she's in her mid-30s and runs a small boutique.
		And the impact of feminism on French life was so slight in 1973--and remains slight in 1999--that Alexandre can blithely reduce women's lib to the issue of whether a wife should serve her husband breakfast in bed.
		In the final analysis, The Mother and the Whore is in love with the idea of defeat; that is its reactionary strength, and most of what I cherish as well as mistrust about the film derives from this fact.

		For one, the sex is not subtle and neither is British director Roger Michell's portrayal of it.
		All smirking aside, THE MOTHER is a deeply emotional film with performances that are genuine and touching.
		It's a movie about real people with real problems showing the way they act when they are most vulnerable.

	Ageless Love - The Mother
		When she is widowed and about to enter old age and basically being treated like a disposable half-dead rag by everyone around her, she discovers a little anger, and does a horrifically selfish thing to remind herself and everone around her that she's still alive.
		Kureishi's interest is in the invisible, the people in the margins - signified in The Mother by a shapeless, snot-coloured coat worn by Anne Reid, a 68-year-old actor best known for her role in Victoria Wood's TV series Dinner Ladies.
		"The Mother" -- the film itself -- is a far more troubling piece of work that addresses the inner life of an unnoticed woman and the damage wrought when she takes it upon herself, at long last, to be noticed.

	The Mother (2003/I) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The film directed by Roger Michell, based on a screen play by Hanif Kureshi, is a study of how this mother figure comes to terms with her new status in life and her awakening into a world that she doesn't even know it existed until now.
		Her own chance of a normal relationship with Bruce, a widower, ends up frustratingly for May, who realizes how great her sex is with Darren.
		Anna Wilson Jones as Helen is also vital to the story as she is the one that has to confront the mother about what has been going on behind her back.

	The Mother (Movie)
		May (Anne Reid) is a sixtyish woman from the lower-middle-class British suburbs whose husband dies at the beginning of The Mother, leaving her in Notting Hill in the grudging care of her children.
		Paula says her mother has never “valued” her—this is her justification for carrying on a self-defeating affair with a married man, Darren (Daniel Craig), who is doing some construction work for the family.
		Few movies have explored the reality of senior sexuality, especially women’s, so it’s doubly fine that director Roger Michell and screenwriter Hanif Kureishi (who last collaborated on the BBC mini-series The Buddha of Suburbia) do so with such smirkless compassion.

	The Mother - Review
		Her quest for a new, independent life and love amongst a generation that does not want her is all too believable, even if her relationship with Darren is less so (although he, as it turns out, has his own motives for going along with it).
		As a portrait of an elderly woman trying to find a place for herself in the world, 'The Mother' is well-observed, and at times moving - but its naturalistic brand of domestic melodrama is better suited to a TV soap than to the big screen.
		Summary: 'The Mother' is a nicely shot drama with a strong central performance, but despite its attempts to shock with some frank sexual scenes, there is something a little banal about the whole exercise.

	The Jeep CJ-3B in the Movies (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The Internet Movie Database outlines the plot: "This is the true story of Mother Teresa, beginning in Calcutta, India, where she faces adversity from every direction and where she lays the foundation for her crusade to help the poorest of God's poor."
		In this scene early in the film, several soldiers in a Jeep are escorting a couple of nuns to a girls' school in Calcutta, through streets filled with unrest.
		I think Mother Teresa's first exposure to the poverty of Calcutta was actually in the early 1930's, so the use of the Jeep here is probably not accurate.

		The seventh decade in the life of May (Anne Reid), eponymous subject of "The Mother," appears to plod along in the same fashion as the previous six.

		The movie does fester in the mind, however, with a resolution no cozier than its core situation.

	The Mother and the Whore
		Jean Eustache's The Mother and the Whore is a bracing, difficult work, unflinching in its ambivalent depiction of the emotional maelstroms of sex.
		Made in a Catholic country at the moment when the anarchy of the sexual revolution was being challenged by feminism, it grapples with the implications of that time for women.
		For all his libertinism, Paul remains a chauvinist who deems his women mothers or whores, however their behavior might challenge his attempts at categorization.

	Straight.com Vancouver \| Movie Reviews \| The Mother
		A novelist talking on CBC Radio--and it's testimony to the point being made that I can't recall her name--once explained that she made her not-quite-elderly female protagonist a hired assassin "because no one notices a middle-aged woman".
		You know from the start that when it comes this will shock her children, who were never much impressed by her mothering skills to begin with.
		I'm not quite sure what Kureishi and Michell had in mind for Darren at the end of the story; they are rather less kind to him and less clear about his character than they are with their reborn heroine.

	filmcritic.com Movie Review: The Mother
		Through some event ranging from the random (meeting a stranger on a street) to the life-altering (husband dies), our heroine gains her independence and finds bottomless passion, even love.
		Watching The Mother, it’s obvious that director Roger Michell and writer Hanif Kureishi, spent a little too much time watching Unfaithful or Bread and Tulips.
		The only difference is that this movie probably isn’t part of a Happy Meal deal.

	Review: 'The Mother'
		And just as the boomers back in the 1960s and '70s demanded to have lots of sex and nudity on their own terms, now they constitute a growing audience for movies about older people living alone trying to make their lives more...
		Fortunately, Hanif Kureishi (who wrote "My Beautiful Launderette") was working from a place of wisdom rather than politics when he wrote the script for "The Mother." Yes, Mary the sad-faced widow gets to have her life brightened by sharing intimacies with a sweet, charming guy half her age.
		In "The Mother," Mary the widow feels empty and lost.

		The movies have their share of gray-haired men romancing young women, but the spectacle of a sexual relationship between an old woman and a young man is still exotic enough for The Mother to startle audiences.
		The Mother is not a feel good family, and it's definitely not suitable for Mother's Day, because it's kind of depressing in many ways.
		Not only did her mother clicked with him during their lunch and walks on the beach, she was very attracted to him, and ended up going to bed with him.

	All About My Mother: Cinephiles Movie Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		On the day of his seventeenth birthday, Manuela and Esteban go to the theater to see "A Streetcar Named Desire", a play which reminds her of the time, many years before, when she played the part of Stella and Esteban's father the part of Stanley Kowalski.
		As an undercurrent that invisibly propels the plot, Manuela's search for Esteban's father, "Lola", becomes mostly representative of the masculine figure as a force that fades or dies, and of the liberating effects of the solidarity between the women.
		All About My Mother's visual and narrative representations of these issues are honest, unrestrained and entertaining.
