Really ballsy, built-to-be-divisive film. A "retelling" of sorts of one of humanity's most famous stories, told from "Mother's" POV

Rating: 9/10 (21 January 2018)

If you can think figuratively and if you can let your beliefs be challenged, then you can watch "mother!" and not hate it. It's based on one of the most famous books ever written so the general plot is predictable, therefore when certain horrible events happen in the movie, it shouldn't be too surprising. It's about looking at this famous story from the outside and understanding things from "mother's" point of view. If you can let a story be a story and analyze it without judgement, then you can "get it" and find the message. But if you need a simple, literal story told as a simple, literal course of events, this won't be the movie for you.
