“Call Me Mum is among the finest of recent Australian films, and certainly one of the most affecting and resonant.”

- Adrian Martin, The Monthly, February 2007

“Margot Nash is to be applauded for taking on Kathleen Mary Fallon’s unique story and giving it a very special life.”

“Fallon’s vision has been subtly shaped by Nash’s own, closing in on the characters and defining their realities through Andrew de Groot’s camera and Patrick Reardon’s production design, and their carefully scaled gradation of these worlds from the real to the almost illusory.”

“In a narrow, naturalistic feature film culture it’s critical that other voices be heard, other visions seen. Call Me Mum is a finely crafted and disturbing venture into the politics of race and the possibilities of filmmaking.”

- Keith Gallasch, RealTime August/September 2006

“Call Me Mum weaves together a journey home with a coming-of-age story in an experimental narrative that engages with the politics of the Stolen Generations”.

 - Felicity Collins - A Proper Sorry Film - Metro Magazine, October 2006

“The theatrical monologues are offset by the beauty of the design and overall direction, creating a genuinely cinematic work. More importantly, there is nothing tentative or sentimental about the film: it clearly details the realities of stolen kids, and it aches along with its characters.”

- Bill Mousoulis, Senses of Cinema, September 2006

“The film is a ‘must see’ for all Australians, especially people from the Torres Strait and their descendants, family and friends.”

– The Koori Mail, November 2006
