And it makes no effort to be a story. A woman moves into a house with her husband, a house soon invaded by strangers, bohemian partiers including a naked couple getting intimate, looters, a swat team, terrorists who start assassinating people, and soldiers (just before the house comes under mortar fire). The woman is not the protagonist because she's utterly passive, takes no action - or only makes the most timid efforts to take action to get the strangers out of her house. She acts like no real person ever would. The whole thing justifies itself as a metaphor or series of metaphors - mixed metaphors I'd say - and symbolism. But while a movie can have metaphors and symbolism, if it is to succeed it still fundamentally needs to be a story on a literal level. There is no story here. Just pretentious nonsense.… Expand

I'm still trying to decide if what I've just witnessed is one of the worst films I've ever seen or if it was simply director Darren Aronofsky's worst shroom/acid trip that he once had and decided to conceive into a film and force upon us poor audience members!

The emperors new clothes is a shart tale about two weavers who promised the Emperor a new suit of clothes that they say is invisible to those who are unfit for the positions, stupid or incompetent. When the emperor parades before his subjectsThe emperors new clothes is a shart tale about two weavers who promised the Emperor a new suit of clothes that they say is invisible to those who are unfit for the positions, stupid or incompetent. When the emperor parades before his subjects in his new clothes no one dares to say that they don't see any suit of clothes on him for fear they will be seen as unfit for the position, stupid or incompetent finally a child cries out "but he isn't wearing anything at all!" The critics who say anything positive about this movie became the same kind of subjects as found in the emperors new clothes, apparently they were afraid to tell the truth for fear that they may look unfit as critics, stupid or incompetent to other critics. This movie is not deep, thought-provoking, or art; it's a man's personal vendetta against anyone who dares to have faith of any kind. His only goal it appears to be is to mock and belittle anyone who has faith, and it's sad to see how many in Hollywood are happy to jump on that bandwagon.… Expand

So step right up and see the new Darren Aronofsky movie. It’s so weird and highly controversial, you can’t not see it. It’s Darren Aronofsky so go see Mother! Why not? Well I’ll tell you why not. I like weird and I’d like to think I can tolerate a bit of controversy but damn, even I have a limit. I don’t think I will ever be able to adequately describe how truly terrible Mother! is but I’ll give it my best shot.
It’s not that Mother! offended me, or shocked me. I’ve seen far more shocking scenes in movies (looking at you Martyrs) but Mother! has no plot, no narrative, no music, the cinematography doesn’t exist, and the cameraman forgot how to zoom out. There is no sign of any direction. Seriously if this didn’t have Aronofsky’s name on it I doubt it would have even got a cinema release. But wait there’s more, Jennifer Lawrence is giving the worst performance of her career. There’s no script. There is nothing good about Mother! So Darren Aronofsky if your sole goal was to get a reaction well then you’ve sure done it. But a movie so lazy and tiresome comes at a cost. I’ve lost all respect for you as a director and your name means nothing anymore. The only reason I didn’t walk out was the desperate hope that it will eventually get good. I wouldn’t want to walk out only to miss the point, the dramatic conclusion. I’ve watched this much I have to see it through right? Well as I’ve sat through all 121 minutes and without giving away spoilers (not that I could even if I wanted to) I can safely say this movie is not worth sitting through. So don’t go see Mother! It doesn’t deserve your time or your money. I’ve told you to skip Mother! but if you decide the curiosity will get the better of you then best of luck, just remember you can’t un-watch it! Ever! I don't often give zero ratings but Mother! definitely deserves it.… Expand

Alors que lorsqu'on regarde bien, lorsqu'on regarde mieux, onAronofsky fait des films bizarres mais le plus souvent tellement bizarres qu'ils sont simplement mauvais et si mauvais qu'on arrive pas à y croire, d'où cette impression bizarre... Alors que lorsqu'on regarde bien, lorsqu'on regarde mieux, on voit bien qu'il fait dans ces cas-là de la merde, de la vraie merde sur laquelle iront se branler quelques pignoufs de Télérama et d'autres étudiants en histoire de l'art du cinéma ouzbèke et afghano-pakistanais.

Alors ici, on est pas dans Requiem ou Noé, on est dans la même merde que Black Swan par exemple... ce qui signifie un ennui si épais qu'il faut le découper au couteau... alors qu'on se demande à quoi ça rime ce bordel à chier et ça rime à quoi, cher Darren, ce putain de bordel à cul que t'as foutu ?...

Seule la curiosité permet de tenir à peu près la moitié... sans passer à l'avance rapide. Et encore, c'est parce que Michelle m'a bien fait rire (avec Ed Harris, ils font un beau couple du troisième âge, il faut dire !). Mais le reste... et Jennifer Lawrence hélas... toujours aussi mauvaise ! mais bonnasse quand même, certes (et on est parfois récompensé mais pas autant que sur son téléphone... certes !).

Et le reste du film, eh bien euh... ça se traîne lamentablement comme un tocard en panne d'inspiration... et devinez qui est ce tocard pas inspiré ? c'est Darren Aronofsky qui a meublé, illustré sa vacuité avec du remplissage de vide et d'inepties pendant deux heures ! rembourse le temps perdu, espèce d'enculé !… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The problem with this movie is the trailer that Paramount puts out was selling it as a horror or thriller. The first 30 minutes built tension. After that you begin to get mad at the characters because you knew there was social commentary from 30 minutes to the second hour of the movie. The biblical themes are there with a man who is "God?" You have Ed Harris carrying around a picture of god with nowhere to go, but yet he invites his wife and kids over to the house. God accepts the family for who they are. The moment you see that you know someone is pushing their social commentary. What I thought was going to be horror/thriller was now an art house film with biblical theme. If the trailer even has a hint of biblical theme then I wouldn't of rented it. This is one of the films that gets so bad that even if you have alcohol in your system you will sober up quickly. Paramount was selling this as a horror / thriller so they can minimize their losses. If viewers knew this was an art house movie from the beginning then there would be less negative reviews. This movie could have been played by smaller names to save the studio some money. The acting from all the big names was very "canned ham". All the big names felt like they were themselves and not the biblical references who they were. By the time you reach the last 45 minutes of the film you are given visuals of all of God's worshippers. The good Christians and the people who put his name in vain, "ooooh". If you think you're going in for horror you will end up with Aranofsky's feelings on Christianity. Save your money horror fans there's a lot of other horror movies to watch and get a good buzz to.… Expand
