Estranged siblings reunite after years apart, forced to confront unresolved tensions and reevaluate their strained relationships with their emotionally distant parents. (R, 110 min.)
(TBD)
Winner of the Golden Lion Best Film prize at the 2025 Venice Film Festival, FATHER MOTHER SISTER BROTHER is the eagerly-awaited new film from Jim Jarmusch. Funny, tender and astutely observed, this is an intimate exploration of the universal intricacies of family dynamics. Starring Tom Waits, Adam Driver, Mayim Bialik, Charlotte Rampling, Cate Blanchett, Vicky Krieps, Indya Moore and Luka Sabbat.
Told in the form of a triptych divided into chapters set in New Jersey, Dublin and Paris, each story concerns the relationships between adult children, their somewhat distant parent (or parents), and each other. Blending remarkable performances from its ensemble cast with Jarmusch’s wry and idiosyncratic observations of everyday life, the iconic indie director’s latest serves as a timely reminder that you can choose your friends and your lovers, but you can’t choose your family.

"It’s a wondrous interlude, and Jarmusch at his best."
— Ben Kenigsberg, New York Times
"The movie glides by so unassumingly, you may be stunned how moved you are by the end."
— Tim Grierson, Los Angeles Times
"Jim Jarmusch’s latest is haunted by mortality and the inevitable passage of time."
— Keith Uhlich, Slant Magazine
"FATHER MOTHER SISTER BROTHER offers the familiar family hang — one that's authentically awkward, funny, and tragic."
— Kristy Puchko, Mashable
"Jim Jarmusch’s latest, an anthology about families, is about words not spoken, and people gone but not forgotten."
— Matt Zoller Seitz, RogerEbert.com
"An unusually delightful hangout movie. The kind you might go and see in the cool of the evening when everything is getting kind of groovy."
— Jessica Kiang, Variety
"Jarmusch knows just when and how to hold on moments long enough to imbue them with warmth, bittersweetness and a touch of dramatic irony."
— Siddhant Adlakha, Observer
"Buoyed by a superb cast headlined by Adam Driver and Cate Blanchett, it’s a film of quiet, droll grace, even if it’s delicateness occasionally veers into slightness."
— Nick Schager, The Daily Beast
"The director’s latest has a lot to say about families and generational relationships, but this is also a film of quiet charm, anchored by a scatter of joyful performances."
— Lee Marshall, Screen Daily
"In this compassionate comedy of missed connections, Jarmusch makes us see the ordinary in fresh, pertinent and provocative ways. And the cumulative power of his vision is undeniable."
— Peter Travers, The Travers Take
"For a three-part piece, it gains a gorgeous fluidity from the gossamer ribbon of melancholy threaded through it. Like Paterson, it’s a film whose simplicity, sweetness and unvarnished ordinariness make it seem almost a miracle."
— David Rooney, The Hollywood Reporter
"Here, the most piercing moments come in the spaces between words, in the silences, sidelong glances, and skipped beats of families that have simply run out of things to say. And in classic Jarmusch fashion, those same pauses just as often double as gags."
— Ben Croll, TheWrap
