Moviegoers are saying
This Jarmusch film divides audiences with its deliberately paced exploration of family disconnection and absent parents, wrapped in deceptively simple coffee table conversations. While some find profound sadness beneath its surface comedy, others feel the minimalist approach adds up to frustratingly little despite the director's signature style.

There’s something comforting about the fact that Jarmusch is still doing his thing, exactly how he wants to, and that so many great actors are lining up to be part of it. He’s a singular voice in a landscape that’s always in danger of flattening.

Between its melancholy view of disconnection and incomprehension, it offers a hint of ironic optimism about what a family’s future depends on—namely, its past.

Strange yet familiar, ending on a wistful note to the crooning of Anika, a favored artist of the director, the strange pain associated with not living up to the conditioned expectations of our prescribed roles is exactly what makes Father Mother Sister Brother feel poignant.
