Mother! (2017)
Directed by Darren Aronofsky
Quick Hit
Mother! feels like a head-trip horror piece—chaotic, stressful, with atmosphere doing half the killing.
Full Take
Mother! leans hard into psychological horror energy, and Darren Aronofsky keeps the tone chaotic without letting the movie drift. The filmmaking is locked in, the atmosphere is doing real work, and the payoff earns the damage. The rough edges are part of the charm.

There’s a lot to like here, but also a lot that holds it back from being great.
I’m in the middle on this one. There are definitely some strong moments, but also parts that didn’t fully connect.

Kinda mixed but I get the appeal.

I actually agree with this take. It’s not perfect but it definitely delivers in key moments.
This didn’t really land for me overall, but I can see why some people like it.
