Emotional distance

Rating: 6/10 (25 February 2019)

A clearly allegorical movie. Whether you want to see it as a retelling of the bible, personification of the creative process or the anxieties of a relationship, it mostly works. But for me there was too much of an emotional disconnect with the mother. She's going through horrific stuff, but that never felt real. Watch it for Javier Bardem and the antics of Michelle Pfeifer.
