Ian Y 07/21/2024 Not a horror film. And not a good film.. See more Rebecca S @Becca01 6d Mother! is not a horror film, but a profoundly symbolic masterpiece of spiritual revelation—a vivid allegory tracking the cyclical history of creation, temptation, sacrifice, and the ultimate new beginning. See more Griffith J @griffithxjohnson Jul 1 This unapologetically does everything in its power to make me feel absolutely awful & I respect it so much for meeting its goal. I call it "social horror" as the main fear is uninvited strangers in the protagonist’s house being rude, awkward, & so uncomfortable that it leads to hostility. It’s wildly upsetting & disturbing with a blatant disregard for the lead’s space, possessions, & wishes being pushed to the most extreme level possible. The rising tide of chaos is so well paced that there isn’t a clear moment when things flip but once you’re swept away in it, you find yourself asking how it even ended up here. Of course the metaphor is heavy handed but I argue it needs to be to meet its purpose of presenting themes that are dangerously close to blasphemy. See more Vince P @Vince.P Jun 21 The acting, cinematography, sound design, special effects, and set design are all exceptional. I appreciated the ambition of retelling Biblical and creation myths through allegory, and the cyclical destruction/rebirth ending resonated with me. Unfortunately, the film's worldview undermined what could have been a great movie. God is portrayed as almost diabolically self-absorbed, humanity as purely destructive, and Mother as a perpetually helpless victim incapable of growth or evolution. The result felt more cynical than profound. I admired the craftsmanship, but I found the message one-dimensional and emotionally exhausting rather than transcendent. See more Molly R @Mollygirl007 Jun 19 Horrible movie, sucked so bad See more Shera A @RT17449506 May 31 This POS movie is the worse movie I have seen in my entire life. Javier is a POS for doing this role. He wasn’t depicting God… he was depicting Satan! Horrible and traumatic to watch! Don’t see this movie See more Read all reviews
