When Will I Am Mother Start? Netflix Release Date, Premiere

What Is I Am Mother About?

This post-apocalyptic but small-scale sci-fi thriller from a first-time director is set on a future Earth in which all human life has seemingly been eradicated. In an underground bunker, a robot named Mother (voiced by Rose Byrne) uses her inventory of human embryos to repopulate the planet. But Mother’s relationship with the first of those humans—now a teenager, played by newcomer Clara Rugaard—is threatened when a wounded woman (Hilary Swank) arrives at the bunker with a story that doesn’t match up with what Mother has been telling the girl. Critics gave the film middling reviews when it debuted at Sundance early this year, though they liked the effects, created by Weta Workshop.
