Lawrence is incredible!

Rating: 9/10 (16 September 2017)

Seems that there may be lots of Trump trolls on here who are attacking Lawrence for her political views. Unfair. This movie has a lot to offer if you go with an open mind and don't read too much about it prior to your visit. Jennifer Lawrence is amazing in the role and is in every scene in the movie. Surely an Oscar nod is coming her way, just like Natalie Portman in "Black Swan," another incredible movie directed by Aronofsky. Michelle Pfeiffer is also wickedly wonderful and should receive an Oscar nod as well.
While the story moves along creepily and eerily toward a conclusion that no one would guess, I'm still trying to wrap my head around it. Both disgustingly gruesome and tantalizingly audacious, there's plenty "to chew on" literally. But, the fascination of the moviegoer is what the movie means as a whole.
It sets a tone that is familiar to us all, a home invasion. Everyone's worst nightmare. But the scenes take us on a roller coaster ride that no one suspects.
Forget what other's are saying about it being a "Rosemary's Baby" clone. That is defining the story too narrowly. If it is about God, the environment, Mother Earth and the state of our society today, then so be it! All that fits.
But when you leave the theater shaken, it is also becomes a thriller in the vain of the first viewing of "The Exorcist," "Aliens," and "A Clockwork Orange." Something audacious for the eyes and senses.
Kudos to all the talented cast and crew for shaking up my psyche in these repressive, controlling days of America!
