This movie is a gem people don't understand

Rating: 10/10 (14 December 2019)

This movie is beautiful. I have never seen a film so simplistic, and yet so complex at the same time. I went into this movie thinking it was your typical home invasion story. Especially after seeing the trailer that only showed scenes from the first half of the movie. But fortunately, I was proved wrong. mother! is not a film. It is a peace of art. First let's start with the story. I honestly don't know what to compare to this film. This film is one big allegory on Religion. From the scene where the older brother kills his younger brother, to the infamous baby scene, this is all about religion. The story has a lot of complexity towards it, the dramatic scenes are worth every second, and when you think you're ready to leave, you are gonna sit back down and say, "What unique ideas." The riots, while they go on for a long time, symbolize what happens when the garden of Eden is destroyed. Mother Nature is our guardian, and we must keep her safe. And the way they portray God as the villain of the story makes me beg for it to be longer.
The acting? Need we speak of the acting? BUT OF COURSE!!! This has to be Bardem's best role since Anton Chigurh. He delivered so much to the film. He understood what he was doing, and he believed that he was helping Mother Nature. And Jennifer Lawrence, please tell me you'll bring this kind of emotion to all your films. Because in here, honey, I felt your pain. I cried with you. I was mad with you. The people destroyed the house you build. So when all else failed, you burnt it down. And like God himself, Bardem took your heart and rebuild his fort so that everything could start over. I never seen a movie that wasn't trying to be mature and amazing be exactly that. Maybe if you are atheist or don't read much of the Bible, you definitely won't get this movie. However, I give props to Darren for using the story of the Bible to convey the horrors of religion and reality. Before you diss it, before you hate it, pick up a bible and relate to it. That way, we all can enjoy the film.
