A Future Camp Classic

Rating: 1/10 (18 September 2017)

"Mother!" (why the exclamation point???) is an example of what happens when an artist's impulses are left unchecked. Lawrence's involvement is probably what made the studio execs leave him alone because they figured it might still make money. This film is just artistic hogwash. I've enjoyed all of Darren Aronofsky's films except for this thing. The last 30 minutes are so incoherent that it's not even offensive. It's just stupid. The only way to even get a bit of enjoyment from it is to view it as camp. The house's explosion near the end is what made realize that camp is exactly what this film is and will eventually become. It's a major, major misstep for Jennifer Lawrence and Aronofsky.
