Brilliant! though, not for everyone

Rating: 10/10 (10 July 2018)

A lot of people with low intelligence keep calling mother! a horror movie. While the art of tension building is is one of the best I have seen, up to the point you physically need to escape from watching, the movie is much more than a thriller/horror movie. Nothing is what it seems, everything is a metaphor for something. mother! is a disturbing movie indeed, hard to watch and even harder to forget. Some scenes are horrifying but... you must NOT forget that EVERYTHING is about symbolism.
The filming technique and the sound do their job in unnerving the viewer.
As for the cast... the names speak from themselves. Great performance.
What makes good art? Hard to tell but most agree that true art touches and affects you. One can believe anything about this movie but cannot deny it has an effect on you. Once you have seen it, you will not be able to unseen it.
