Father Mother Sister Brother is a feature film, though carefully constructed in the form of a triptych. The three stories all concern the relationships between adult children, their somewhat distant parent (or parents) and each other. Each of the three chapters takes place in the present, and each in a different country.
Father is set in the north-east US, Mother in Dublin, Ireland, and Sister Brother in Paris, France. The film is a series of character studies: quiet, observational and non-judgemental — a comedy, but interwoven with threads of melancholy.

Father Mother Sister Brother was awarded the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival.

“Father Mother Sister Brother” is about as dry as a physical copy of short stories you’ve loved since you were a child. There are no protagonists or antagonists, just people moving through life, Jarmusch catching moments of them the way that David Lynch once caught ideas like fish moving down a stream. This is a movie Lynch would’ve admired, brittly funny and content to linger in doorways and thresholds for as long as it takes until somebody breaks the awkward silence. - IndieWire

Something so sincerely intrigued by the human condition and its many peculiar qualities, which Jarmusch addresses beautifully throughout this film, working closely with a cast of excellent actors who help him develop these intriguing characters, and allowing "Father Mother Sister Brother" to flourish into one of the year’s most lovely, gentle films about a subject that takes on many forms, but is nonetheless extremely recognisable in any context. - International Cinephile Society
