Don't expect much...

Rating: 5/10 (27 February 2018)

"Mother!" is a mystery - drama movie in which we watch a couple who has a quiet life, living in a secluded grand mansion that was burned to the ground and they are trying to rebuilt it. Their quiet life and their safe environment comes to disturb some uninvited guests who arrive at their home. And time by time this increases and continues to grow. The more chaos the husband lets in their home the better for him and his ego.
At first I liked the movie but after the middle it becomes boring because it tries to much to prepare you for something extraordinary that it's going to happen and finally disappoints you. The plot is not something that even worth mentioning because in its core is very good but on the outer place of it, it's not equally good. Despite the good interpretations of Jennifer Lawrence who plays the mother and Javier Bardem who plays the husband who are the main actors, the supporting roles of Ed Harris who plays as the man and Michelle Pfeiffer who plays as his wife don't help the main characters to evolve. The direction of Darren Aronofsky is below average and of course worse than I expected, that's maybe a result of low budget.
Finally I believe that "Mother!" is an average movie which was promoted so much for no reason. The most disappointing part of this movie is that it has four very famous actors but does not impress the audience. The only reason I rated this movie with five stars is because of these actors and the interpretations of Jennifer Lawrence and Javier Bardem. If you want to watch this movie just don't expect much from it.
