	Media	Author	Review
		Guy Lodge Variety	"A tricky range of registers to balance, but 'Maternal' mostly does so with sensitivity and conviction."
		Keith Uhlich The Hollywood Reporter	"[A] compelling fiction feature"
		Kaleem Aftab Cineuropa	"[A] hot and simmering Argentine-set tale (...) Although the narrative arc is fairly predictable, it is very dramatic and absorbing."
		Screendaily	"A film that is highly emotionally charged beneath its surface of detached austerity"
