Fantastic, but different from trailers

Rating: 10/10 (25 September 2017)

mother! is a fantastic movie, but is definitely not for everyone. The metaphorical nature of the film means that it is definitely not very fulfilling for the average movie goer. I feel that the trailers definitely gave audiences the wrong idea about this movie, making most think that this is yet another horror movie based on jump scares and cheap thrills. Hence all of the very low user reviews. This movie keeps you thinking for days and shows us the best aspect of the cinema: interpreting the movie as you see fit. If you are looking for a movie that will challenge you, mother! is the movie for you. Kudos to Darren Aronofsky for making a wonderfully complex and crazy film.
