Filmmaker Dieckmann has infused Motherhood with a meandering sensibility that immediately sets the viewer on edge...

| Original Score: 2/4 | Dec 4, 2011

| Original Score: 1/5 | Nov 17, 2011

Pity party for moms.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Aug 14, 2010

Motherhood is neither insight nor escapism. It's a yummy-mummy newspaper column splurged onto celluloid, like baby sick on your best cashmere sweater.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 16, 2010

An authentic account of stressed-out parenting, but anyone sans sprogs will find limited appeal in this one-trick pony.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 5, 2010

I wouldn't care if she was at the epicentre of the movement for global peace: she's a happily married mother who looks like Uma Thurman, and my reserves of sympathy are limited.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Mar 5, 2010

This whiny drivel makes me ashamed to be a woman.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Mar 5, 2010

Few vanity projects can be as ill-conceived as this laughless, goggingly slow Uma Thurman vehicle.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Mar 5, 2010

If you ever wanted to spend an entire movie in the company of a frazzled, childcare-juggling Uma Thurman on a singularly bad hair day, Motherhood could well be manna from heaven.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Mar 5, 2010

A light, cheery metropolitan take on what it's like to be left holding the baby.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 5, 2010

It's a well-meaning movie, but the attempts to provide amusing insights into the everyday life of a full-time mum are hamstrung by the 24-hour time frame.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 5, 2010

It's hard to see why the target audience would want to sacrifice two precious hours watching their own soul-sapping routines played out on the big screen.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 5, 2010

This I-Don't-Know-How-I-Do-It schtick may appeal to the martyred-motherhood brigade, but it won't do anything for people who turn up to a comedy expecting laughs.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Mar 5, 2010

Disappointing, faintly patronising comedy-drama that's light on both laughs and drama.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 4, 2010

This enjoyable but simplistic comedy feels more like a mother's tired rant than an ode to motherhood

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Mar 4, 2010

There's nothing much here on the wonders of parental obligation to reinforce the mood, only ineffective flecks of comedy and abrasively broad performances to help sell an unwelcome foray into me-me-me individuality.

| Original Score: D | Mar 1, 2010

Were it not for the presence of the 'big name' stars, this would have straight-to-Hallmark-Channel written all over it.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 17, 2010

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.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Dec 7, 2009

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.

| Nov 2, 2009

Motherhood gives upper-middle-class whining a bad name.
