I Am Mother

About This Movie

I Am Mother takes you into a claustrophobic underground world, where the tones are dark and the atmosphere feels thick with tension. The pacing is deliberately slow, allowing you to soak in the unease of this dystopian scenario. The themes of trust and identity play out as the girl, raised by a robotic 'Mother', grapples with her reality. The performances are quietly intense, especially the girl’s growing conflict over her upbringing. Practical effects lend a stark realism to the robot, which is a standout – it’s not flashy, but it feels grounded in its purpose. What sets this apart is its exploration of human ethics versus artificial intelligence, leaving you with a lot to think about long after the credits roll.

Strong focus on themes of identity and trust · Interesting take on AI and ethics · Notable practical effects work
