Full-tilt Aronofsky(!)

Rating: 9/10 (4 October 2018)

Was "Mother!" perhaps self-indulgent and totally bonkers? Yeah, absolutely. It was also incredibly fascinating, shocking, gorgeous and terrifying. When has an Aronofsky film not been devisive? Name one. He makes what he wants and could care less if people appreciate it, and by nature of that, a lot of people just won't want what he's selling. However, if you're like me and you get enjoyment out of stories that are a little opaque, extremely thought-provoking and insanely beautiful to watch (ie. The Fountain, Black Swan) then I bet you'll enjoy this film. I know I did. I'm unnerved, but that's not a bad thing. It affects you as you watch it, which is so rare in movies nowadays.
You'll probably hate it. But you might love it. I did.
