Claustrophobic and what the hell!

Rating: 5/10 (21 October 2017)

When I went to watch the new "IT" movie there was a trailer for this one showing it to be a ghost / thriller type of movie. it took awhile to get here but I finally went to see it avoiding all other trailers and reviews....
I'm.... confused...
Mother is mainly about two characters. Jennifer Lawrence as mother and Javier Bardem as Him.
They live in an isolated house in the middle of nowhere when one day a guy visits them.
Then things go bonkers with the whole thing from Lawrence's point of view. the people are intrusive, they act as if this was their house not hers. Him also encourages them to take whatever they want saying it's just things and never taking his wife's opinion into consideration... it was weird.
The movie is very claustrophobic with the camera zoomed in on Lawrence for the most part that you wished the camera man would just take a few steps back so you could breath.
Now I'm not religious so the metaphor I got from this movie (and believe me, there is so much weirdness in there that it could only be a metaphor) was different compared to my friend who sitting right there next to me.
The movie is subtle enough that it leaves room for you to make up your own interpretation. just keep in mind that this is not a thriller. the movie you are watching might not be the movie you are seeing.
I also want to know what that yellow sand she keeps putting into everything from paint to water. it's the one thing I couldn't figure out with or without the religious interpretation...
