Strange and disturbing

Rating: 2/10 (11 December 2017)

Mother! is not an easy film to watch. Even if you had your fair share of art-house, offbeat, daring and disturbing films, this will still be hard to like.
It is difficult to dilute the content to the point it would be at least a bit clear. It offers many themes and it could be anything from the desperate need and power of love, obsession with fame and the madness that surrounds it, the purity of new life, it could be anything but unfortunately it feels like nothing. Another problem is that Mother! never grips or pulls you in and consequently the film drags and feels much too long. The acting is the only bright thing in my opinion.
It will be no tragedy if you give this one a miss.
