A relentless stream of visual oppression

Rating: 9/10 (21 September 2017)

Last night I saw "mother!" And it was pretty damn great. It was a relentless stream of visual oppression that just doesn't give up. An observation, told through metaphors, of the dangers of letting other people into your relationships; the dangers of fame and obsession and of oversharing; all told through a heavy biblical allegory. If you liked the trailers or want to see just because J-Law is in it... don't. This almost certainly isn't the movie for you. The trailer is extremely misleading. But if you want to watch an exploration of these themes through dark symbolism and imagery, then go for it.
