1/4
"Director Katherine Dieckmann, who demonstrated some natural comic rhythms and efficiency with actors in Diggers, is here unable to surmount the sitcom dreariness of her first original screenplay, apparently a "write-what-you-know" misjudgment."  Slant Magazine  Bill Weber

1/5
"gets stuck in the starting gate, unsure of what kind of film it wants to be."  Filmcritic.com  Chris Cabin

3/5
"Portrays a time-starved mother who is willing to throw herself into parenting but also realizes the need to care for her own soul."  Spirituality and Practice  Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat

1.5/4
"The lesson, I guess, is that it really sucks being a mom, but it's also incredibly unrewarding."  Mark Reviews Movies  Mark Dujsik

"In a few brief moments, Thurman's Eliza springs to life... but it's not Thurman's fault that those moments are few and far between."  Flick Filosopher  MaryAnn Johanson

1/5
"A portrait of parenthood that’s apt to turn one into an ardent advocate of contraception, Motherhood portrays such shrill, mopey and all-around unpleasant adults that it’s hard to believe any of them found procreative partners."  Time Out New York  Nick Schager
