Grow a pair Darren! (Semi-autobio about the writer/director.)

Rating: Null/10 (18 April 2018)

A talentless writer with an ego the size of a hot-air balloon is suffering from writer's block. He invites strangers into his home and life - who he later calls friends - at all hours of the day and night to get his creative juices flowing at the expense of his relationship with his wife and child. The people he invites in want a piece of him - his attention, his food, his house, his newborn, his toilet bowl to piss in.
Clearly this is Aronofsky's own life played out in Mother!
If only Aronofsky had given us a simple story. A straight shot of honesty and reality that we could sink our psyche's into, and relate to. Instead, Aronofsky hides behind silly horror-like scenes to confuse viewers, be "different", and mask what Mother! is really about. Him.
Grow a pair Darren! Nobody likes to watch a movie while driving in a car with insects hitting the windshield and their wipers broken. If you're not going to be honest with your audience, then take your freakin' fingers off the keyboard and write historical fiction. That is, if you can stand being in front of your computer for more than a week. Just don't dick around with movie-goers. You are going to lose their respect and attention.
Jennifer Lawrence, as always, nailed her character.
The movie is a mess. Don't waste your time.
