Review of mother! (2017) by Eduardo B — 30 Dec 2017
I can't decide if Mother(!) is Darren Aronofsky's way of pleasuring himself on screen or if it is a legitimate work of art simply out of the grasp of my pea brain. The film has some seemingly obvious metaphors but they are metaphors that are so blatant that your brain fights the idea that they could be so simple to untangle. At least we can all agree that Mother(!) is a pretentious as all get out work of an egotist artist who's either far too oblique for his own good or a complete troll.
Mother(!) is the title character played by Jennifer Lawrence who opens the film completely engulfed in flames before waking up in bed. Was it a dream? Stick around, the movie has a little something for you on that later. Mother and her writer husband, played by Javier Bardem, are living in an idyllic old home that has been recovered from a fire. This unique home sits in the middle of a field or perhaps a 'garden,' one might call it Eden-like. https://geeks.media/movie-review-mother?_ga=2.93187421.1126457623.1513947710-953607229.1513947710.
