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.

Imagines a perfectly endless loop where inspiration meets creation and satisfaction.

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.

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
