Brilliant!

Rating: 10/10 (29 November 2019)

I see some poor reviews of this film but I'm going to assume they were written by people who just don't "get" what Aronofsky was trying to accomplish. I watched the movie twice and it is packed with symbolism that some people might miss. For example, for those who see the film as a modern day Genesis retelling miss so much. Mother! Is Mother Nature and the planet embodied in Jennifer Lawrence while God is embodied by Javier Bardem's Him. The movie is about their relationship God and Mother Nature. People are played by every other character in the movie. The first half is the Genesis story while the rest of he film shows how the planet has tried numerous times to repair itself from the damage people do to it. Seen as a allegory the film is brilliant. The cast was well chosen and the house is a very interesting design. The last 10 minutes of the film are the best and before that there is a lot of chaos and violence but none of it is gratuitous. Definitely watch this movie if you care about the planet and miss seeing smart movies.
