Years after the extinction of mankind, a girl, born in an underground facility and raised by an android she calls “Mother”, discovers one day that the outside world is not what she was taught it was.
Very interesting feature directorial debut from Grant Sputore. I Am Mother is a small-budget, one-location sci-fi that is definitely worth your time. Many questions are raised, some of them answered and, purposefully, some of them not. Read between the lines. Information is carefully revealed and spread throughout the three acts, which paces the story brilliantly.
Excellent performances by Clara Rugaard and Hilary Swank. Congratulations to Rose Byrne for providing her voice for Mother and Weta Workshop for creating her. Lastly, kudos to all producers and Netflix for spending every penny wisely, proving (once more) that low-budget films have as much or more to offer than Hollywood mega-budget blockbusters.
Hint: Who is the woman who inexplicably shows up knocking…
