Though Jennifer Lopez is fun to watch in TheMother, the Netflix film falls short of being truly great. Our review:
While the instinct for revenge is one of the easiest, most human character motivations to understand in film, the popular subgenre is in no way a straight line. Distinguished through its complex, multilayered goals that run through a deep cut of emotions, the need for revenge from a sharp class of anti-heroes has become one of the most enticing forms of storytelling. Though there are movies that stand out in the genre like Kill Bill: Vol.
After the two make it out, The Mother entrusts William with her newborn baby, asking him to find the child a safe, boring home. Requesting he update her every year and only call when trouble ensues, it’s 12 years later that William reveals photographs of Zoe, also known as The Daughter , have been found in the men’s belongings following internal investigations suggesting that both Adrian and Hector know her child is alive.
However, while Lopez is good and the best part of this movie, there are times you can see she is holding back, and some scenes just feel more put on than anything. In some ways, it’s as if she’s just scratching the surface of what she can really do. She’s absolutely phenomenal when she lets loose. While she has great chemistry with her on-screen daughter, Paez, the same can’t be said for her time spent in scenes with Hardwick, Fiennes, and Bernal.
The same goes for Bernal, who is incredible in everything he does. However, while he gave this performance his all as the creepy contractor The Mother meets in Guantánamo Bay, there is just not enough of him to bother about. In fact, remove him from the equation as a character, and we could have had more screen time to flesh out a stronger dynamic between The Mother and Adrian.
