Why it’s HorroRated
Mother! is a film that demands engagement with its allegory rather than its horror mechanics, which is either a strength or a weakness depending on what you want from it. Aronofsky's formal control is absolute and the escalation is sustained with remarkable discipline. Jennifer Lawrence gives a physical and emotional performance the film absolutely couldn't function without.
Synopsis
Aronofsky's film operates as allegory rather than narrative and its demands on the audience are deliberate. Jennifer Lawrence gives a physical and emotional performance the film couldn't function without. Whether you buy the allegory determines whether the escalation feels earned or exhausting.
