Poignant messages in the form of visual poetry.

Rating: 9/10 (31 December 2017)

This movie is an absolute gem and work of art. I know that Aronofsky films aren't for everyone but I highly recommend this movie even if you're not into allegorical storytelling. Each character in this film is a metaphor for something, and each plot trope an allegory of some sort. If anyone happens to watch it, keep in mind that she is Mother Nature and the husband represents god or mankind in general. If you keep that in mind, the movie will make perfect sense. It's great visual poetry that delves into the destructive nature of mankind to both nature and itself. It's a very cynical story, and if it would have ended on a more uplifting and inspiring note, it may have gotten better reviews.
