Review of mother! (2017) by Allcaps — 15 Sep 2017
The first part of this movie was great. Unsettling events happen that keep the audience unnerved and worried for our main character. Just enough hints are put in to allow the audience to correctly guess the allegory that Aronofsky is going for. All this great craft gets lost though in the final 40 minutes or so in the movie. If the audience hadn't figured out what the movie is about yet, they are hit over the head with it over and over. This might be somewhat needed for Aronofsky to make his point, but it is very tiresome for the viewer and ultimately wasn't necessary beyond the first 15 minutes or so. This movie is worth seeing if you're a movie buff but I wouldn't recommend it for the average movie goer and I wouldn't say that this movie is a great film. It was interesting though.
Lastly, I don't understand why they copied Rosemary's Baby's movie poster. The two films have somewhat similar themes.
