I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

I am not the biggest Dario Argento film fan, my favourites of his are Tenabrae, Suspiria, and Opera. " Mother Of Tears" is the third chapter in his " Three Mother" films the other two being " Suspiria" and " Inferno" which i didn't like much. Mother Of Tears" has a bad reputation and quite simply it deserves it.An incoherent, amateur and often pathetic mess of a film with awful, embarrassing acting from everyone. A couple of moments work, the gore though just looks fake, film's effect is just a wide sheet of flatness, and that ending??? Easily the least of the series, and people moan how bad his later " Dracula " was, it is a masterpiece compared to this.A really too generous fair rating.

This movie is not either bad nor good, but people are asking so much. There is no way that in 2007 they can replicate what has been some of the best horror movies like susprira and inferno, first off goblin was not around to do the soundtrack which for me is a big downfall.My girlfriend is not an horror fan she hates it, i just bought my copy blueray of suspiria and ask her to watch at least the start of the movie.The movie ambiance is amazing, with the strong rain at the start, the soundtrack holding everything together and giving you goostbumps. The same thing has inferno. Its impossible to replicate this because it was the 70-80 era.Dario Argento gave us all he had in the 70 and 80 its only normal that at some point just like a musician the inspiration is no longer there or the creation is gone. At some point you cannot always be creative.Dario done what he could with great success, there will be no more deep red bird with the crystal plumage and more. Worst there will be a remake of suspiria.I suggest anyone watching mother of tears to not compare it to suspiria or inferno but take it has a separate movie there are good gory parts in the movie but sadly Asia Argento cannot act. Dracula 3D after seeing the trailer will not help elevate Dario career at this point he should retire and enjoy life.

Ugh, the long awaited ending to one of the most gruesome and interesting trilogies in Horror cinema ends in very poor fashion.Argento applies the miseries of modern Horror such as terrible CGI, lousy characters, display of awful tendencies, and more. The Daria Niccolodi ghost reminded me of "Troll 2". Go figure. The dark-emo Asian girls were also horrible..But plot wise, "La Terza Madre" fails on every aspect. The story isn't well explained, there's no coherence in some events and everything gets solved ridiculously. Asia Argento is the best feature about it. But she needs to change her laugh!Nothing was left from "Suspiria" or "Inferno". This movie just reminds us that Dario has been past his best days. Sure, there are moments that keep faithful to the master such as violent and nasty death sequences (the lesbians torture was raw), a not so bad score, and beautiful colors.P.S. What was the problem with that monkey?!

I saw "Mother of Tears" about two years ago and resisted the urge to comment on it then. I've found that Argento's films almost always improve with repeated viewings and that's the case with this film. Overall the film is somewhat disappointing but the positives are larger in number than I originally thought. The biggest beef I have (and I base this on what I personally think rather than basing it on hard fact) is the rushed feel of the film. I remember reading that Argento was going to complete his "Three Mothers" trilogy and soon afterwards it was done. It opened to disastrous reviews and when I got my hands on it I basically jumped on the bandwagon and trashed it. A lot of stupid things here; horrible performances by Asia, Adam James and Cristian Solimendo, a completely clueless sequence of events, a miserable depiction of Daria Nicolodi as a friendly ghost, over-the-top gore, low budget that really hurts the look of the film, laughably funny depictions of deadly followers of The Mother of Tears who look like an Alice Cooper fan club, cringe-inducing dialog and a silly resolution. Well, fortunately time (and a second viewing) healed most of this. This isn't all bad - in fact - some of it's very good. What probably derailed me at the start is the way Argento chose to film this final chapter. He doesn't go for the dreamy and colorful visuals and unearthly atmosphere like in "Suspiria" and "Inferno" but rather plays it pretty straight; with plain daylight scenes a plenty and a no-frills display of the night scenes (curiously he does insert a soundtrack very reminiscent of "Suspiria" (the WITCH...creepy voice) and it only serves as a reminder of the original masterpiece; so I question his wisdom there). Look-wise this film looks more like "The Card Player" and "Do You Like Hitchcock?", in short; like latter day Argento. With this in mind I was very irritated with the opening gore filled entrance of the Witch's evil minions who quite nastily dismember a woman. But in fact it's not a fault but a logical continuation of the "Three Mothers trilogy" as these stories are "Nightmares caught on film" and therefore; don't really follow any straight logic. I just wish Dario had chose to film this with more color-insanity and dreamlike atmosphere; it would have fitted better there. I blame this on rushing things. While there are visuals here to admire (the steady cam shot of Asia entering the Witch's lair a particular fav), this feels rushed. An obvious low budget does hinder Argento in displaying convincingly a second fall of Rome due to the Witch's arrival. And on that subject; the Witch's groupies are really laugh-inducing; and in a bad way. A second viewing does not change that but merely confirms it. Anyway; talking about the story and the script. It's best to think of them as separate entities. The original story concerning the Three Mothers and their evil influences from different parts of the world is very strong and compelling. "Mother of Tears" nicely ties all films together and there's a great scene at the hour mark where Asia's character reads an alchemist's book on the buildings constructed for the evil witches. But the script is shoddily written, has numerous moments of silly dialog and a very silly conclusion.But in the spirit of it's superior predecessors the film is best enjoyed when thinking of it as a nightmare caught on film. The loose logic of events actually serve as a plus and do manage to generate a few uneasy moments for the viewer. The gore (and there's plenty of it) is well done and it's long been said that The Mother of Tears was the most vicious of the Three. So the gore maybe isn't too out of place. In the end; "Mother of Tears" is an enjoyable Argento film. There's no denying the fact that for it's entire running time there isn't a dull moment and there's always something happening. Asia's performance improved on second viewing (but it's far from great) but Adam James is still intolerable. A larger budget and a more relaxed filming schedule is something I personally think would have resulted in a better film (along with a better written script) but it's fairly good nonetheless. It's been said that Argento's admirers are also his fiercest critics but thankfully we know from experience that there's always more to his films than is perceived on initial viewing. Maybe the third time I give this a spin I'll be completely blown away. Stranger things...
