    It’s necessary to preface this with the fact that I am (or, was) a huge Aronofsky fan. He’s ingenious, and sophisticated and he has this distinct style to his films. Plus, his symbolism and metaphors have always struck a perfectly balanced note in the past. Having loved Black Swan and The Fountain, I’ve been super stoked for mother!. It all seemed right: the concept, the cast, the posters. Everything. The spectacle leading up to its various premieres added to my excitement. Aronofsky didn’t underwhelm my expectations; in fact he exceeded them in epic proportions – in the worst ways possible. To understand my frustrations, one has to have a sense of the plot. mother! is the story of a giving,…

    Can be a bit confusing on the first watch but the overall deeper meaning of the film is really interesting. The storyline and the violence were well balanced. The only part I didn’t really enjoy was THAT scene towards the end.

    The type of movie you only watch once. it accurately portrayed Mother Nature and those who destroy what she builds and creates. You could tell towards the end Jennifer Lawrence really went beyond acting and took the role with pure reaction and emotion.

    Like I know it’s a good movie but i’ve never been more angry and frustrated to watch one in my life. It just got more ridiculous and out of hand that I was pissed to the point of wishing death on everyone in that house (Except JLaw). Yeah it’s poetic and I wish I could give it a better rating but I didn’t enjoy watching this AT ALL!! Oh my god I’m mad.

    enjoyed the first two acts of this film but by the third act it was way too heavy handed w the metaphor. the last 40 minutes or so just constantly beat u over the head w the metaphor but thinks it still hasn’t ‘revealed’ itself yet. all of the dialogue in the last scene shouldnt have been there, it was genuine goofy writing. all the special effects moments just made it look more goofy and took you out of the…

    “Você não me ama, você ama o meu amor por você.” ” Eles não me ouvem.” Um marido que era visto como um “Deus”, que queria ajudar a todos, salvar a todos, ouvir a todos e, no final, negligencia o sentimento da sua própria esposa. Esse filme consegue te fazer sentir angústia, medo, agonia e, principalmente, muita raiva ou, no meu caso, um ódio extremo por tudo o que aconteceu. Não consigo nem pensar no que falar após assistir a essa…

    Pretentious drivel offering not much more than a bare-faced and simple metaphor within a feature-length narrative that you could have honestly found better executed in a short film, not two hours. A complete exercise in style over substance, and not even a fun one at that. Excruciating watch, Darren Aronofsky. In his defence though, I liked it when the film decided to turn into Children of Men for five minutes, because it reminded me of a good film.

    You guys are insane, this is great and you are dumb. This film is everything and means and is everything. In this current (and ongoing) political climate, this film represents the feeling of being unsafe to feel safe in your own home, where you were born and can’t do any fucking thing about when invaders come. This film is everything happening right now and the fucking future if everything if we don’t stand up like Jennifer Lawerence and vote that our baby’s necks aren’t snapped.

    This movie was beyond disgusting and disturbing. I was willing to give it the benefit of the doubt, but as the movie went on and on it made it much harder to do so. This movie is one giant metaphor, and as cool as it is, it is very hard to justify this 2 hour mess. The first half was okay, was really looking forward to seeing how it played out, but it was a disaster. The metaphor was cool and really saves this film, but it was very hard to sit though, very vile, very disturbing.

    dopo aver finito questo film ho avuto l’ ansia per circa mezz’ora, sono stata fisicamente male nel guardarlo ed è proprio quello che mi aspetto da un film, la metafora finale a mio parere è troppo letterale e avrei preferito una “sfumatura” che facesse intedere il finale senza spiegarlo troppo nel dettaglio. film meraviglioso.
