	Author	Review
United States	Todd McCarthy The Hollywood Reporter	"'Mama' represents a throwback and a modest delight for people who like a good scare but prefer not to be terrorized or grossed out"	POS
United States	Time Out	"The film’s tear-jerking conflict between distorted and nascent maternal love is drowned out by a surfeit of flashy visual effects (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	Richard Roeper rogerebert.com	"Movies like 'Mama' are thrill rides. We go to be scared and then laugh (...). Of course, there's almost always a little plot left over for a sequel. It's a ride I'd take again. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Justin Chang Variety	"'Mama', for all her digital and prosthetic creepiness, is finally a bit of a bore"	NEU
United States	Mick LaSalle SFGATE	"'Mama' is skillfully made, and although Chastain is the best thing in it, she's not the only thing in it (...) like the best horror films, it has a reverberation beyond the circumstances of the movie"	POS
United States	Rex Reed The New York Observer	"There’s no point approaching 'Mama' with anything related to logic. (...) [Chastain] is the spookiest thing in 'Mama'. Everything else is cable television"	NEG
