Pretentious, "artsy", but completly shallow in the end. (Free of spoilers)

Rating: 3/10 (5 March 2019)

Its ok to have a movie that its weird, sometimes inscrutable and different. Movies like these have surprised and shocked the public for years, but, with time, end up becoming classics because buried under all this seemingly random madness there was a strong idea, a coherent vision and a lot of talent. Of course I am speaking of movies like 2001: A Space Odyssey, and definitely not about movies like Mother!
Mother! tries to be smart and symbolic like good movies are, but the weak script and the poor, obvious ideas and metaphors behind it all just end up conforming a film of low intellectual quality.
Yes, we all understand its a metaphor of the Bible. The problem is that creating a good metaphor in fiction is difficult. It cant be obvious. And it has to be woven in the story in a way that it doesnt conflict with the overall idea of narrative. In other words, it needs to "make sense" with the story, the characters, etc. Thats part of the art of it, of the craft.
And Mother! doesnt have any of that. Aronofsky chooses, instead, the easy way: "Just lets throw this metaphor here and see what happends. And now, for no reason, some guys go inside the house and eat a baby".
It most shocking scenes are welcome. I like to watch movies that try to terrify me, that are gross and make me feel uncomfortable. Thats why I watch movies!
But that cant be it.
And in any other aspects that I could think of mak a movie good, Mother! was weak.
