Critics Consensus

There's no denying that mother! is the thought-provoking product of a singularly ambitious artistic vision, though it may be too unwieldy for mainstream tastes.

The point of mother is to represent humanity torturing and violating Mother Earth, If you look into the roles you will understand what each of them represent, Mother isn't the best but it's definitely a nightmare, It's probably going to piss you off though

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

A narcissistic egocentric take on the sacrifice needed for creation. I would recommend watching this only if you are resilient to shock and alone. It can give you nightmares at least for one day, it's quite disturbing...

Mother! is not a film to go into blind.. but that certainly helps the experience. Polarizing, disturbing films are not crowd pleasures by any stretch, but that's never been an area that bothers me. Films like these fascinate me!!

Mother! is what happens when a dude has an idea he thinks is brilliant and no one checks him on it.

Film Comment Magazine

[Darren] Aronofsky wants mother! to have the intensity and inner logic of a sweaty nightmare. But it's a fake cinematic fever dream-the kind made by a director so self-conscious that he's always checking his own temperature.

When you eventually see this you may hate it, but you can't say it isn't brilliant.

If mother! lacks the refinement of a manifesto for a new breed of movie theater flick, it makes up for it in the audacity to be unique.

Keith & the Movies

Once movies leave their creators’ hands they often become their own thing. “mother!” benefits from that truth. While Aronofsky has a pointed personal meaning behind it, what you bring to the film will help define it for you.

Rated: 4/5
