Mother's Day is distinguished, at least, by De Mornay's porcelain-smile lampoon of castigating matriarchy.
Nick Pinkerton, Village Voice
Rotten
Stuffed with secrets and characters who can't wait to betray one another, the film offers no one to root for except Mother, whose perverted family values at least remain consistent.
Jeannette Catsoulis, New York Times
Rotten
The ready crackle of [De Mornay's] studiously demonic performance brings welcome distraction from this otherwise crude litany of torture and wretched death.
Robert Abele, Los Angeles Times
Rotten
Notable for a chilling lead performance from Rebecca De Mornay and not much else.
