Don't waste your money

Rating: 1/10 (18 September 2017)

I won't waste your time with a synopsis, there are truthful ones out there already. One reviewer said they want their 2 hours back. We went to a matinée. I want my $5.50 back. My two hours would have been better spent cleaning the toilet. This is a terrible movie that maybe aspired to be allegorical and full of meaning. It failed miserably. Don't waste your time or money on Mother! To follow Amazon's guidelines: I didn't like this movie because I spent most of my time trying to figure out if it was an allegory. I tried every allegory I could think of (religious, the creative process, Mother Earth, characters in a book, etc.) Allegories didn't work. So in the end, it's just a messed up movie that doesn't know what it wants to be. Can you call it a horror story? Technically, yes. There was blood and gore. It was also horrible. It was not entertaining. It was not a 2 hour escape. I will never go to another movie by this director again.
