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.

Father Mother Sister Brother is a throwaway that’s also a keepsake.

In "Father Mother Sister Brother," veteran filmmaker Jim Jarmusch delivers a warm story of family and all its inescapable quirks.

3.5/4

What connects these tales isn’t narrative propulsion but pulse. Jarmusch is patiently attuned to people trying, and largely failing, to bridge the small emotional gaps that can turn into chasms.

2.5/4

Once you settle into Father Mother Sister Brother‘s relaxed groove and get accustomed to the variations on the theme, there’s an easygoing allure to Jarmusch’s associative approach, as there so often is.

It's the twins' story that brings together all the various anxieties and emotional threads in "Father Mother Sister Brother."

Bolstered by a top-notch cast in all three self-contained segments, it's quietly perceptive in spots but overall too slight and sketchy.

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.

Gruelingly morose family situations inhabited by stoic characters played by very talented actors.
