Motherhood Ratings & Reviews
CinemaBlend
Perri Nemiroff
Pity party for moms.
Los Angeles Times
Glenn Whipp
Whiny and self-involved, Thurman's mother of two sees judgment around every corner and believes the universe has conspired against her because the bakery misspelled her daughter's name on a birthday cake.
At the Movies
Michael Phillips
Motherhood gives upper-middle-class whining a bad name.
New York Daily News
Joe Neumaier
Unfortunately, nothing here digs too deep.
New York Times
A.O. Scott
The humor is soft, the dramas are small, and the movie stumbles from loose and scruffy naturalism to sitcom tidiness.
Boxoffice Magazine
Amy Nicholson
It scares straight any wishful daydreams about parenting, living in Manhattan and even looking like Uma Thurman.

Uma, overload. Overload, Uma.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
If Carrie Bradshaw ever trades her Manolos for sneakers and starts blogging about raising children, I pray she wouldn't be as tiresome as the heroine of Katherine Dieckmann's insufferable comedy Motherhood.
USA Today
Claudia Puig
[Motherhood] not only overdoes its premise, but it's hampered by several flaws. When it tries to be serious, it's too earnest, and when it tries to strike a chord, it's banal.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
The movie is billed as a comedy, but at no point will you require oxygen. There are some smiles and chuckles and a couple of actual laughs, but the overall effect is underwhelming. Meh.
Movie Retriever
Brian Tallerico
Misguided, cluttered, annoying mess of a dramedy, a film only moderately redeemed by the still-luminous Thurman, but even she is dragged down by a truly awful screenplay. Mothers still get no respect.
Us Weekly
Thelma Adams
[A] sharp comedy.
The Hollywood Reporter
Stephen Farber
A pleasing, lighthearted look at the mommy wars.
Observer
Rex Reed
Many films have been made about the perils of parenthood, but none with a more attractive and entertaining mom on the verge of a nervous breakdown than Uma Thurman in Motherhood.
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
You can see the movie wants to comment on all the frustrations of urban motherhood, but it does so only shallowly. How did having children kill Eliza's "fiercely lyrical'' fiction career? The movie isn't that political or reflective.
AV Club
Keith Phipps
The film treats the responsibilities of parenthood like another film would treat cancer, as a dream-killing condition to be endured until it passes or kills you. As a contraceptive device, that works brilliantly.
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
[Thurman is] quite funny, but her performance is at once winning and overstated.
Village Voice
Michelle Orange
Dieckmann nails the look of a certain niche of urban neo-middle-class living, but the film's hyper-earnest tone and reliance on "day-from-hell" New York clichs overwhelm those details.
