Review of mother! (2017) by Jon P — 25 Dec 2017
Rosemary's Baby meets Full Metal Jacket meets Carrie.
This movie... you gotta be kidding me. Perfect example of a director laughing his ass off to the bank. Symbolism? Really? Like what? A stigmatic house? An incubus in the floor boards? Really bad plumbing masquerading as Lacrimosa? I beg you to give me a break. Right, poet (read: art) as creator and destroyer of worlds Hahaha! What pretentious bs. The movie makes no sense, and guess what? It's not supposed to!! This is a director (and a complicit girl friend actress) telling his audience to go "f" themselves. And it worked! But fortunately I didn't pay to see this dreck. On the other hand, if you want to see a bunch of corpses, explosions, rapid fire armament, and Ed Harris in the worst performance of his heretofore formidable career, you'll be well satisfied.
