"In Francis Ford Coppola's 'The Godmother,' Rebecca Ferguson shines as the first female mob boss, delivering a compelling performance despite occasional accent slips. While the film doesn't reach greatness due to missed storytelling opportunities, Ferguson's portrayal captivates as she navigates the cutthroat world of organized crime with ferocity and vulnerability. The continuation of 'The Godfather' series was not necessary and it could have worked on its own merit. 'The Godmother' offers a fresh female storyline in the genre, making it a solid addition to Coppola's repertoire." - Doger Lebert
