With the tragic death of his father, Pierre is left alone for the first time with his mother Helene who, along with her gang of femme fatales, draws her son into a dangerous world of sexual transgression and illicit desire. Truly one of the great new directors of our time, Honore handles this gripping, controversial, steamy and moving film with a passion and precision of execution that is second to none. Ma Mere crashes through the boundaries of social acceptability and creates its own world on the other side.

Bande annonce
After the death of his father, a young man is guided into a world of hedonism and depravity by his attractive, amoral mother.-
It's an undeniably good looking movie with a couple of brave performances from Isabelle Huppert and Louis Garrel at the heart of this complicated relationship.
Garreth Murphy, Entertainment.ie -
Despite its controversial and at times discomforting subject matter, Ma Mère steers clear of cheap sensationalism. Evoking the spirit of Bataille's universe, Honore and his actors invest this Oedipal drama with genuine feeling.
Film 4 -
The performances are exceptional, particularly by Garrel (The Dreamers) and Huppert, who moves forever closer to an absolute perfection.

chilling in its intensity but captivating throughout
