FATHER MOTHER SISTER BROTHER is a feature film, though carefully constructed in the form of a triptych. The three stories all concern the relationships between adult children, their somewhat distant parent (or parents), and each other. Each of the three chapters takes place in the present, and each in a different country.

Critics Consensus

Father Mother Sister Brother is a subtly haunting, wryly funny, and visually poised triptych that transforms the banal awkwardness of family life into a bittersweet meditation on the bonds that persist.

The performances are finely tuned, sneakily funny and the silences earned.

Honestly, there is something refreshing about the lack of melodrama.

Jarmusch’s film thrives in acknowledging the ultimate unknowability of our parents.

3/5

Director Jim Jarmusch gives this piece on family relationships plenty of breathing room, while the stellar cast keeps it sharp enough to make it pleasantly watchable.

All this arcane artistry may make a prize-winning film in the eyes of Jarmusch afficionados but others might find Father Mother Sister Brother something of an indie endurance test.

Many of Jarmusch's best works...are those in which he chooses this minor-key tone, without pretension, straightforward and simple. This one, though somewhat uneven, is one of those, full of simplicity and feeling. [Full review in Spanish]

If you like Jim Jarmusch’s overall directing style and pacing you’ll like this movie. Very strong cast and vignettes that make a welcome alternative to the gory tentpoles splattering across screens right now.

Back to classic Jarmusch. Three vignettes all dealing with family dynamics, warts and all.

Nice movie with characters that we never really got to know. It was literally like visiting with 3 separate families to observe how they get along with no background or interaction.

I hate to writing negative reviews but this movie was so disappointing. First off I'm a fan of the director Jim Jarmusch. I loved most of his previous films with some of my favorites being Patterson, Broken Flowers, and Mystery Train. I can usually find something in all of his movies to enjoy but this is the first time I can honestly say that watching one of his movies felt like a complete waste of my time. "Father Mother Sister Brother" is the most boring movie I've ever seen in theaters. It was like watching paint dry. Honestly there wasn't a single thing I enjoyed about this film. I would only recommend this to fans of Jim Jarmusch and even then I'd go in with low expectations.
