Reception
Critical response
A reviewer from The Hollywood Reporter says "This is clearly an extremely personal film for the director, and its hidden agenda is finding out what really happened to his mother. Perhaps this is why in the last third of the film, its richest vein, the filmmaker himself appears onscreen and relentlessly pushes the old man to face the past and tell him the facts he has avoided for all these years".[3] Nandini Ramnath of Scroll.in Wrote "In one sequence in Ma.Ama, Philip finishes bathing and casually chucks his briefs at his second wife to be washed – another unscripted moment that was reshot for the film".[4]
