Darren Aronofsky shines as a director in the film he was born to make.

Rating: Null/10 (29 May 2018)

People didn't respond well to "Mother!" because they either didn't understand its role as a biblical analogy of humankind or they didn't appreciate its artistic, unique directorial vision. From the second the film starts, you'll be able to tell Darren Aronofsky is controlling the set, using his stylish, dark vision to depict the events and meanings behind the most famous biblical stories. Jennifer Lawrence knocks it out of the park in her very best performance. The emotional toll she puts into this perforce is staggering. Lawrence is an actress I'm not usually big on, but all that changed after seeing this film. Few filmmakers are as poignant and brilliant in calculating humankind as Aronofsky. In "Mother!" he blends his passion for the environment and fascination with religion to deliver perhaps the most unique, daring, and unconventional masterpiece of the 21st century.
