Mother! Movie Review
mother! isn't as gratuitously graphic as torture-porn movies like Saw, it's definitely violent and gory and in a way that's actually more effective and horrifying. There are scenes of sieges and executions, but it's much more about how director Darren Aronofsky ratchets up the film's tension in subtly terrifying ways, with memorable images and ideas that might give younger viewers lasting nightmares. There's sensuality without explicit sex -- and when a topless woman is shown, it's definitely not in a sexual context. There's also some language (including "c--t," "f--k," and "whore") and drinking/substance use. But more than anything, it's the intensity of Aronofsky's movie that disqualifies it for most younger viewers (and even some older ones). Jennifer Lawrence and Javier Bardem star.
WHAT'S THE STORY?
MOTHER! starts with a couple in a cocoon: a secluded old house, away from the world. But all is not quite well. The young wife (Jennifer Lawrence) is warm, beautiful, devoted, and highly capable, she's restoring their once-devastated home all by herself, but the middle-aged husband (Javier Bardem) is suffering through a long creative dry spell. His frustrations are spilling into their relationship. When unexpected visitors arrive (Ed Harris and Michelle Pfeiffer, for starters), their safe existence is deeply challenged in this highly metaphorical film.
