	Media	Author	Review
		Phil Hoad The Guardian	"'Madres' feels well-grounded in its milieu, with a nuanced sense of the immigrant caste system in the 1970s United States (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Michael Nordine Variety	"The problem, as is so often the case, is that 'Madres' won’t send chills down your spine or make the hair on your arms stand up — even if it does teach you more than its scarier counterparts ever attempt to."
		Lena Wilson The New York Times	"What it lacks in sting it makes up for with an original script (...) and a ferociously pregnant protagonist who would make the 'Fargo' character Marge Gunderson proud."
		Nick Allen rogerebert.com	"'Madres' is a particularly frustrating type of horror movie, in that its shortcomings are vast (…) Rating: ★ (out of 4)"
		Karina Adelgaard Heaven of Horror	"This is the best movie in all of the 'Welcome to the Blumhouse' universe so far (...) It had all the right moves in terms of getting the creepy vibe right (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Mae Abdulbaki Screen Rant	"[It] is extremely fragmented and painfully subpar, wasting a chance to tell an intriguing, nuanced story that is still an issue in the present (…) Rating: ★ (out of 5)"
		John Serba Decider	"'Madres' might just be the smartest thing you’ll watch this scary-movie season."
