Feels like something that Lynch, Cronenberg, or Kubrick would have directed in their heyday.

The whole time I felt what the mother was feeling and it definitely had a Black Swan feel to it due to Darren Aronofsky being the director and writer. Read more

A deranged trip through someone’s worst nightmare and it’s too compelling to look away. Read more

It’s complex and a mind fuck that requires a thesis of study to make perfect sense of.

A big stew, and it’s equal parts self-indulgent and self-pitying. Read more

With Mother! he used the same basic formula, but he delivered the story in a way that kept me engaged and I completely felt for the goddess. Read more

An ambitious film with a celebration of anger and chaos so visceral it can’t help but be captivating.

Opens as a psychological thriller, middles as a farce, and closes as an exploitation film... Read more

Beautifully-directed and superbly-acted chaos, but chaos nonetheless.

May be visually arresting but it’s hollow at its core, embracing an implausible, nearly-surreal darkness... Read more

Suffice to say the situation grows increasingly absurd until it reaches apocalyptic levels in the final act (think 8½ meets Children of Men). It's a Monty Python sketch stretched out to two hours, or a Eugene Ionesco play with too many actors. If you can tolerate it, good for you, but halfway through I began wishing cinema auditoriums came equipped with ejector seats. Read more

A film that is up its own arse and overly artsy that the entire point of the film is lost. Read more
