yes, i know it's an allegory..

Rating: 2/10 (19 September 2017)

If you're looking for a thrilling horror/comedy, full of insightful metaphor and relevant social commentary, not to mention a breath of life in an otherwise barren cinematic landscape, then by all means, go see Get Out. Otherwise, go see Mother! The director says he wrote the script in 5 days, and it shows. It's basically the equivalent of going to see a poet who hides behind so much ambiguity, shocking imagery, and mixed metaphors that the poems might SEEM edgy and profound, until you actually look at the words. Yes, I know it's an allegory. No, that doesn't automatically make the film good.
