Plot summary

In 1963, Esther gives birth to Roland, the youngest of a large family. Roland is born with a club foot that prevents him from standing. Against everyone's advice, she promises her son that he will walk like the others and that he will have a fabulous life. From then on, Esther will do everything in her power to keep this promise. Through decades of trials and miracles of life, this film is the story of a true, funny and moving story, that of an incredible destiny and the greatest love there is: that of a mother for her child.

Great movie showing what motherly love can do

Great movie showing what motherly love can do on one hand and also the need to let go your children at some point and let them leave their own life, make their own decisions and mistakes. Also, this movie left me a bit concerned for other children of this mom - they might have felt some resentment.

A magnificent film with stellar performances by all

A magnificent film with stellar performances by all the actors involved especially Ms. Leila Bekhti who, with wide ranging emotions, brilliantly portrays Mrs. Esther Perez. Your heart melts as you watch her demonstrate how unconditional love, deep faith, and unrelentless hope can bring about miracles. Threaded throughout and playing a significant role in the film’s storyline is the glorious, uplifting music of Ms. Sylvie Vartan . Her music and appearance is pinnacle to the fascinating , true life story of Mr. Roland Perez as depicted in his book by the same name. Here, music does indeed “soothe the soul”, unite and bring joy. The film is a stunning tribute to all mothers who protect, fight for, defend and support their children and to their children who draw strength ,prosperity and learning from their examples. Far- reaching are the presented universal themes of hope, faith, family, honoring the disabled, the power of love , and music’s ability to alter and enrich one’s life. Ma mère, Dieu et Sylvie Vartan is a film much needed in these harsh, uncertain times . An inspiring, poignant, passionate and, at times, lighthearted film about and wrapped in love. Truly sublime , not to be missed!

This unlikely (for subjectmatter) new french success from revitalized (see recent "How to make a killing": separate Imdb review) grand producer Gaumont, proves wrong prejudices against both minority-spoofs and international coproduction-puddings, involving in this case France, Canada, even Amazon.It takes Montréal based helmer Ken Scott, scripter of québecois hits "La grande séduction" (2003) and "Starbuck" (2011+multiple remakes) to pull off this warm and exuberant comedy set amongst jewish Moroccan immigrants to Paris in the 70's: the main character of the Mother is played by marvellous Leila Bekhti, the ecclectic thespian of algerian origins married to top actor Tahar Rahim (the "Prophet" by Jacques Audiard; little seen gem "Astragal" with Bekhti).The son, standup comedian Jonathan Cohen, is very well directed like the rest of a plentyful cast including 6 young brothers and sisters, moving newcomer Lionel Dray as the modest father, Anne Le Ny the 'curandera', Jeanne Balibar as the feared social worker threatening the family, and a glam cameo by Sylvie Vartan herself, the diva of french rock ("yé yé") in the title, whose songs play a defining role in the life of young Roland, from age 2 to 42...big time lawyer Roland Perez (real story) was born with a clubfoot, speaks little, learns to read and write at home from Vartan's songs on tv and eventually rallies school "on his own two feet", thanks to his mother's ferocious resolve, imagination and talent for achieving "miracles", in this life: anyone with a chinese tiger or jewish mother (not just Woody Allen or Romain Gary), knows the struggles and exagerations shown on screen, which stretch the film a little, are plausibile or at least possible, and that keeps the movie endearing for viewers.I saw it in France with my former boss born in Algeria, that really wanted to catch it but was kind of embarrassed to ask his grown up children or feared a snub from high minded friends...that took me back 45 years to austere Geneva, where we skipped classes with my best friend Gad to go see the forefather of french jewish comedies (Alexandre Arcady's "Le coup de sirocco" set in Algeria): we sat upstairs in a dark corner of the gallery, sure to be alone in the cinéma, until the first gag went down, and below burst dozens of guilty, grateful and loud laughs from a happy audience, just like last week in Paris.
