Disappointed...in reviewers

Rating: 8/10 (23 September 2017)

I swear, 90% of the people writing negative reviews seem to have made no effort to understand that the entire film is metaphorical. Also, as metaphors work, a film like this isn't designed to have simple explanations.
The movie is about humanity's abuse of Mother Earth. But it also works at the level presented, where it's about a wife who suffers emotional cruelty at the hands of her emotionally unengaged husband. To a great extent the film is a commentary on the emotional abuse of women. And yes, it goes straight into fantasy from the start.
Viewers who only like realistic films should not see Mother! They will hate it. Having said that, Mother! is not like Rosemary's Baby. That comparison misses the point completely.
Also, Rex Reed is a doofus.
