Full Review Page

mother! doesn't really work as a film, but I don't think Darren Aronofsky really cared. mother! is very heavy-handed allegory that hits some surprising notes and gives us some very interesting and unique scenes, but spends most of its time wallowing in pretension and making sure you "get it". mother! feels like a dream: time is distorted and we have no idea how long things take, everything is over-the-top, and when the lights come on you feel disoriented and confused. People keep saying that the story is confusing, but there barely is a story to begin with. Aronofsky spends the first hour vaguely giving us a plot to follow, but then quickly drops it and goes off the rails to hammer in his message. There is nothing subtle about mother!. The allegory is very obvious and is only confusing because it has no flow. It is kind of fun to pick out the little "Easter Eggs" and roll your eyes at the huge billboards Aronofsky puts up. mother! doesn't seem to be intended to be enjoyed as a film, but to be endured as an experience. I don't know anyone I would recommend it to as a movie they would like, but I recommend it to everyone as an experience to be had.
