Mother!

— “Mother!” has to be one of the stranger things I’ve seen in a while. I’m still trying to decide if it rubbish or greatness. I’m leaning toward greatness but it’s so filled with darkness and allusion that it’s really hard to know if Aronofsky was just being divisive or presenting an ambitious vision. Either way, Jennifer Lawrence, Javier Bardem, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Ed Harris are mesmerizing, and it may be best to see it without preparation so you experience it and, later, try to figure out what it all means.
