Even at the edge of extinction, some things about humanity will never change, like the rocky road of coming-of-age. An unnamed girl may be raised in a doomsday bunker by an android called Mother, but despite never having met another teen, her path to maturity is nonetheless marked with recklessness and rebellion. To know who we might become, we first must call into question all we know and have been. And in I Am Mother, a teen girl known only as Daughter will change the future of mankind when she challenges the only world she's ever known.
Directed by Grant Sputore, I Am Mother begins in a labyrinthine "population center," in which 65,000 human embryos are in cryogenic stasis. This will be a place for mankind to repopulate, following the world-ravaging horrors of an "extinction event." But for now, the only one wandering its halls is Mother, who selects a single embryo to develop in an artificial womb. Mother (voiced in a whisper by Rose Byrne) sings the Dumbo lullaby "Baby Mine" over a charming montage of Daughter's childhood. She grows before our eyes. There she is as a toddler, lumbering about the cold halls. There she is cuddling a toy rabbit as she cozies up to Mother's charging station. One particularly touching moment shows the child bedecking her robot parent with colorful stickers of smiling animals. Years later, when Daughter is a stern-faced young woman, a few of these stickers remain, visually reminding the audience of a simpler time, when they were mother and daughter, and that was all the girl need know.
