_mother!_, a movie title with no upper case letters. Well _mother!_, I’m glad you saved those capitals because I have a question which is going to require a lot of them: “WHO THE FUCK WAS THIS FOR!?”

_Final rating:★★½ – Had a lot that appealed to me, didn’t quite work as a whole._

I’ll start by saying, maybe I’m not the demographic this film was intended for.

That said, I spent 95% of the movie with a confused expression on my face, and asking myself “what the hell is this?” I walked into the theater expecting something good–not necessarily great, but enjoyable. This movie was confusing, inexplicably violent, never got to the point or fleshed out a story/plot, and left me feeling very uncomfortable throughout the film’s entirety.

I really DON’T recommend this movie. It seemed like a total waste of time. The plot was non-existent. Confusing. Disturbing at times, without any explanation, context or reason.

I’d give it 1 star, only because the sets were really well done. Other than that not worth even one watch, I think.

One of the toughest films I’ve ever tried to review. I liked it a lot, but can’t recommend it.
This is a very difficult movie to review without major spoilers. I can either just say “spoiler alert” and then promptly ruin the whole thing. Or I can be circumspect, and perhaps not tell as much as would be satisfying. I’m going to take approach #2, because in the end, I would hate to go into this movie having had someone “explain” it to me first.

Having said that, I DO think it’s very important to state that this is NOT a horror movie (at least, not in the traditional sense). The trailers make this film look like some kind of artsy, weird, off-the-hook horror film. A modern day, graphic ROSEMARY’S BABY, perhaps. MOTHER! is NOT that. It has many horrifying events and images…but it is a virtually unique product. If you only like going to movies with some idea of what to expect…this film is likely not for you.

On the other hand, if you’re comfortable sitting down to watch a film with virtually no preconceived expectations, and have a strong stomach and lots of patience…you should be rewarded.

The film, other than a brief, odd opening sequence, starts of “normally.” Jennifer Lawrence wakes up to discover her husband is already missing from bed. We see that she lives in a lovely country home that is undergoing significant renovation. We discover that Lawrence is re-doing the house herself, and her hubby (Javier Bardem) is a famous poet who is undergoing a bit of writer’s block, and has been for awhile. There are some tensions in their marriage, but they seem pretty mundane. In the evening, there is a knock on the door, and Bardem invites in a stranger (Ed Harris) and seems to immediately develop an oddly close relationship with this man. A relationship that excludes Lawrence. The film’s tone immediately shifts to something mysterious and, for lack of a better word, “off.”

That’s all I’ll tell you, expect to say that this movie just builds its oddities one after another, growing on and on in strangeness and it becomes downright unsettling and disturbing. You’ll likely spend a lot of time with the movie having no idea what’s going on. We see it all through Lawrence’s eyes (in fact, she is seen almost exclusively in closeup), and as her confusion and alarm grow, so does ours. As the movie arrives at its last third, it truly goes completely nuts. It descends into seeming chaos, and grows from alarming to downright uncomfortable. There are a few very difficult scenes.

Director/writer Darren Aronofsky, who has made films both excellent (REQUIEM FOR A DREAM, BLACK SWAN) to mediocre (NOAH) to downright unwatchable (THE FOUNTAIN), often seems to grapple with deep issues, and certainly takes a lot of care with his films. He demands careful editing and challenging cinematography. His actors are often pushed to extremes. In the case of MOTHER!, I found Jennifer Lawrence to be quite effective, especially by the end of the film when pieces have started clicking together. It’s her movie, frankly, to carry or blow, and she mostly carries it. Her chemistry with Bardem is spotty, but it almost makes sense by the end. It’s a frustrating viewing experience for much of the movie because you can’t help but try to impose meaning on it all…and you really can’t unless you’re amazingly perceptive…at least, not until the last third of the film. THEN what happens is you have to spend an hour afterwards reflecting on the early part of the film and putting it into context.

MOTHER! is a difficult film, and I cannot recommend it (even though I give it 4 stars) because I also understand that a) the film is infuriating and b) once the “answer” is revealed, viewers might be enormously offended when they discover what the film is about. It is just, frankly, a deeply challenging film. I really enjoyed myself, and will watch the film again (this time, knowing from the start what it is about)…but it’s also just a bit smug too.

And the single biggest mistake was having Kristen Wiig appear in the film. I like her a lot, and she’s proven over and over that she has dramatic chops, not just comedic. But she appears suddenly during some critically important events and it seems like a crazy cameo and not a real performance. The audience sniggered, as though anticipating a nice bit of comedy from her. I feel bad for feeling this way, but there are certain performers who would always briefly pull an audience out of a film if they showed up unexpectedly…folks like Will Ferrell, let’s say…who are known for their antics on film first and foremost. Arnofsky should have avoided this casting.

I hope I’ve helped give you some vague idea of what you might expect. Whether you decide to go is another thing. Oh, and by the way, PLEASE do not bring children. There are some VERY disturbing things (if they are even still awake when they happen) that were pretty tough for adults to see. I saw a few folks storm out during these scenes…and I can’t imagine having to explain them to young kids afterwards.

WTF
Well this was a waste of celluloid.

None of the characters have names, they kind of simply moved about spouting lines that really didn’t tract or entertain.

Ugh, this was painful. I think I would rather have been at the dentist.
