Too much work to give names to Man, Woman, Him and Mother?

Rating: 4/10 (19 January 2018)

Too much work to give names to Man, Woman, Him and Mother? I guess so when you write such a lame script in 5 days.
Darren Aronofsky should have stuck to only directing on this one, of which is very well done, but even there, I hated the pace. This film should've been played at 2x speed, or edited down to 90 mins max, not 121 mins. He should have left the writing to the writers of his other films that were stellar - Requiem for a Dream, Pi and The Wrestler.
But to come up with such a lame, pointless, slower than a snails paced plot full of holes and questions, is not art. Those of you who think this is what this was, have a vivid imagination that took over, zero credit to the writing for that, unless leaving plot holes, convoluted scenes and a genre identity crisis in the last 20 mins is your meaning of art. Seriously, what's the point of that yellow powder? No, it's not a metaphor. Neither is a chunk missing from Man's ribs or Woman's attitude a metaphor for Adam and Eve. Then there's the ridiculous last 20 mins of the film where you go from a "quiet dinner and table for two" to a war zone to zombie cult garbage. Ease up on the Carfentanyl, Darren.
Films are supposed to take you on a journey, where it shows conclusion or you come up with your own, it's a journey. All this was, was a walk into a brick wall, then repeat after 2 hours. It left me wanting more, but not from this film. I wanted it to either start some journey for my senses, or finish up quickly to be done with.
All I got was feeling sorry for Mother's OCD panic attacks and feel her pain for unwanted guests. I didn't need 2 hours to get that point, or the last 20 mins of mishmash garbage.
I would have rated this a 1/10 for the lamest writing I've seen in some time, but bumped it up to 4/10 for the stellar performances from the lead cast, and outstanding directing. Those areas deserve much more, but the writing is that bad.
