Mother! was a moving experience. I think if you go in with an open mind you won’t be disappointed. If you’re looking for a standard horror film then see something else. If you want to see something original, Mother! is one of the best I’ve seen this year.

Visceral, astonishing, creepy, mind blowing, a flick of nature.

EDIT: There has never been a movie like this that I didn't like but I really wanted to read and talk more about with other people. I guess Darren Aronofsky at least got people talking about his movie, even if people didn't like it. What a weird movie. I really thought the sound design was great. Really creepy and creates great tension. [spoiler]So Jenifer Lawerence is Mother Earth and Javier Bardem is God? Ed Harris and Michelle Pfeiffer are Adam and Eve and the heart crystal is the apple of eden? I don't know much about the bible but that is what I got. I guess the message Daron Aronofsky is trying to say is we treat the Earth like shit. It is going to kill us all but its bound to repeat again? I don't know, it is a weird movie.[/spoiler] EDIT2: So after seeing this after a long time of not thinking about it I realized that Darren Aronofsky really hates humans. The bat shit crazy third act can not make up for the boring first two acts. [spoiler]And knowing that this is just the bible made it even worse.[/spoiler] I don't hate this movie but I'm definitely not a fan.

Worse than I thought possible. Aggressively absurd and arrogant. Places a puzzle where a plot should be. Substitutes concepts for characters. Painfully pretentious. Even when you figure it out, it's not worth the effort.

Tedious, pretentious mess which thinks that it’s far smarter & subtle than it really is.
