Oh Mother! where to begin

Rating: 10/10 (16 September 2017)

The film Mother! is difficult to review without giving much away. I think the best way to start is to say it's not a horror movie at all. I feel it's more in line with a psychological thriller/mystery/metaphor . The performance by Jennifer Lawrence is outstanding and she raises the film to a higher level by simply being her. She is the main focus of the movie and although everyone else brings their A game she just seems to raise above. There are several meanings which can be drawn from the film and some are more obvious than others but I think this is the type of movie which will be studied for years to come. The film footage and angles add to the levels of suspense and are masterfully executed and the overall feel gets into you keeping you on edge with Lawrence's character. Keep in mind that even though this in not a horror there are parts of the film which are difficult to watch. I hope you found this helpful! I have a podcast called Spoilercast by All Tower Media which can be found on YouTube under that title if you'd like to hear more on other movie titles! Thanks for reading.
