Mother! a story of earth

Rating: 5/10 (28 December 2017)

Before you decide to watch this movie know that it is really not a horror movie in the traditional sense of bump in the night and jump in your seat scary. It is the horror of life, the horror of death, the horror of pollution and decay of planet earth.
This is an allegorical film about the destruction of our planet, or is it an allegory of mother-hood in general. The violence of a baby bursting into this decaying earth and the eternal mother trying to protect and fix everything that goes wrong in life, only to fail. It is an allegory of earth's beginnings. I suspect this film is like looking at a painting masterpiece, - it will mean many different things to many different people. That said, it was an exhausting watch. Let's just say I would not watch this movie again. I found it pain staking in its construction and that's about it. It is a disturbing movie on many levels. Short of the great actors that were in it, I don;t think it was a great movie by any means.
