Numa quinta isolada, uma mãe – outrora cirurgiã em Portugal – ensina a filha, Francisca, a compreender a anatomia e a não se deixar perturbar pela morte. Certa tarde, um visitante misterioso destrói de forma horrenda a idílica vida familiar da jovem. Apegada a um pai cada vez mais reservado, a sua solidão e natureza traumatizada convergem anos mais tarde, quando o seu desejo de se relacionar com o mundo à sua volta assume tenebrosos contornos. (Filmin)

I wouldn’t search for any artistic depth here, but as a short, twisted trip to the viewers’ discomfort zone, The Eyes of My Mother is interesting indeed. And effective, very effective.

An interesting film that cleverly masks its low budget with black and white cinematography, but it's a pity that the director didn't have the balls to go off the rails like the director of Human Centipede II. Every time something that might have been pleasing to the eye was about to happen, the director just plain and simple shits on it. At times, I felt like I was nakedly tied up in bed in the presence of a female stripper and after a long and teasing dance, the woman would just slam the door behind her, which is probably the worst thing a woman could ever do. In this case, the director is to blame. The ending is also very awkward – I really hate it when the whole film relies on the viewer's imagination. If this is what the director revels in, next time he'd better publish a book. It's a great pity, but there is a certain amount of perversity here after all. 55%

The American film The Eyes of My Mother is actually not quite a classic film about how the human soul can become twisted and disgusting, even if it looks innocent at first glance. The film also shows how we are shaped by what influences us, but also by what comes from within and what we simply cannot control. As a study of the fall of man, it's actually not bad at all.
