mother! (2017)

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Why does everyone feel compelled to review something as the best or worst thing ever. Really? How is that even remotely useful to the reader? It's not a review -that's a rant. For those of you who don't get it, there's a little something called experimental filmmaking. It's been around for about a century, and not designed with mainstream Hollywood consumers in mind. They're art house films, and if you walk blindly into an art house theater, please don't whine because you didn't get a watered down derivative literal narrative. Artists like Darren Aronofsky and David Lynch have been at this craft for quite some time, and they know literal narrative is not hard to pull off. Symbolism, surrealism, multiple layers of perspective, that's a considerable challenge. If it's not for you, it's not for you, but it's tiring to see a convenient dismissal when someone doesn't connect with a piece. Having said that, I don't think this was Aronofsky's best effort. I thought the main concepts and core storyline were fantastic, but felt would have been best realized as a short film and condensed to 40-50 minutes. The themes were repeated to the point of being redundant, and though the point was made, it could have been made more efficiently. I don't see Aronofsky ever eclipsing "Requiem," but this was a solid effort.

This movie is truly an enigma and only steps it's game up in the third act. I loved it. Very original and quite disturbing. Best not to watch a trailer and go in blind. Heavy sense of uncomfortavility and it's really well done. I enjoyed the acting of the two main characters. The slow burn comes to a close fast in the last 30 mins. If you can, wait until the last 30 mins to make any final judgements.

What a waste of talent. The story, if it can be called one, is a series of uncoordinated and unconnected events which have been poorly put together.

Please save yourself from this crap! 2 hours of your life has way to much importance for this movie! Whatever the greatness of the meaning behind, it doesn't change the fact that this movie is utterly ridiculous. Only positive thing is Jennifer Lawrence who remains a great actress.
