ABOUT THE FILM

"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.

"Told as a triptych, with chapters set in New Jersey, Dublin and Paris, the film explores the relationships between adult children, their distant parent (or parents), and one another. Blending standout ensemble performances with Jarmusch’s wry, idiosyncratic observations of everyday life, the iconic indie director delivers a poignant reminder: you can choose your friends and your lovers, but not your family."
— Watershed summary

"What’s it all about? What’s the conclusion? What’s the takeaway? Jarmusch never hands us anything. We’re left to think about all of it, how it might or might not fit together, and how we relate to it. The constant through all of Jarmusch’s work is an attentiveness to narrative and visual storytelling that most other filmmakers avoid or just never include."
★★★★★ Matt Zoller Seitz, RogerEbert .com

"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
