Embarrassing Storytime

Rating: 8/10 (14 September 2017)

Embarrassing story time: Just saw Mother! this evening. In the final minutes of the film, I found myself so nauseous that I had to get up and leave to go to the bathroom. When I got to the bathroom, I couldn't even unbutton my pants, the room was literally spinning. I peed all over the bathroom floor. The nausea in the film carried over to me. I had a breakdown in the bathroom asking people for help (No one helped me, I looked like a nut job). I could not even drive and was sobbing in the park lot for a queasy ten minutes. A film has NEVER done that to me. I have NEVER been shaken up like that. From an outside perspective, I keep asking myself was I so upset. I'm into horror movies and the goth and the macabre. The investment and the camera work I think was what pulled me in too deep and thus triggered my very first panic attack. I've never even really believed in panic attacks because I have never had one. Until now. Sort of SPOILERS: I am not a sensitive person to religion or gore per say but I am still jarred by the way I responded to this movie.
Jennifer Lawrence the actress has impressed me, though I'm still not fond of the social media JLaw. Javier Bardem's HIM makes a little really go a long way. My OG crush Michelle Pfeiffer and the wonderfully talented Ed Harris were so child-like, cold, seductive yet infuriating like the rest of the cast.
Damn you, Arronofsky.
