An intense and brilliant spectacle for thinkers.

Rating: 10/10 (24 October 2017)

This is not your run of the mill thriller/horror/ANY genre movie, no, Mother! is a film of great complexity and depth. So deep in fact that I'm still trying to work it out completely whilst writing this review. I can see why it's not had the best response as it's not a film for the placid or close-minded, quite the contrary actually.
My take is that Aronofsky has tried and succeeded to depict:

Human development in a world not intended for them - How religion affects people - The dangers of religion and cults - A huge allegory for life itself and the way the Earth responds to our actions as a race.

It is not as simple as many people would like, these are the people who enjoy speedy car chases and shallow love stories- but hey, we're all different!
Overall Mother! is my favourite film of the year, without a doubt (what an awful year it's been anyway). Performances from Lawrence and Bardem were really brilliant and believable with others from Pfeiffer stealing the show. A great film, which still messes with my head and will continue to do so.
