Pretentious, nonsensical and extremely frustrating

Rating: 1/10 (25 November 2018)

I'd seen how 'Mother!' had split audiences down the middle but I wasn't expecting to have such strong feelings about this film. The drama/mystery genre generally appeals to me and the more unusual the film, the more I tend to like it. 'Mother!', however, is very much an exception. Despite it being undeniably strange, I hated it and ended up turning it off after about an hour because I couldn't bare it any longer.
This film has been labelled as 'artistic' and 'beautiful' by some critics and reviewers. I honestly find these comments laughable and they remind me of the people who consider the scribbles and splashes of a three-year-old on a canvas as valuable art. There's nothing arty about 'Mother!' whatsoever - it's just another piece of pretentious Hollywood garbage that thinks it's so much better than it actually is.
'Mother!' is an incoherent, plotless mess of a film that gets gradually worse as it goes along. I could only tolerate so much before I had to turn it off for the sake of my sanity.
