Mother! from 2017 is a psychological horror film written and directed by Darren Aronofsky. The plot follows a nameless woman played by Jennifer Lawrence, who lives in a secluded home with her poet husband, played by Javier Bardem. Their peaceful existence is disrupted when unexpected and uninvited guests arrive, played by Ed Harris and Michelle Pfeiffer.

The movie explores themes of love, creation, sacrifice, religion, and environmentalism. The biblical allusions in the film are abundant, and the storyline can be interpreted in various ways.

The cinematography is intense, with a subjective camera that focuses on Lawrence and her growing anxiety throughout the film. The sound design is also designed to give the viewer a sense of her growing distress, with a jarring sound that punctuates each scene.

The performances in Mother! are excellent, with Lawrence carrying the bulk of the narrative on her shoulders. She gives a raw and intense portrayal of a woman whose life is spiraling out of control. Bardem's performance is equally as compelling, and his character's relationship with Lawrence's character is complex and multifaceted.

Harris and Pfeiffer are both excellent in their roles, with Pfeiffer's character being especially chilly and unsettling. The supporting cast includes Kristen Wiig, who appears in a pivotal role in the film's final act.

Mother! is not a traditional horror film, and it is not a movie for everyone. The sensitive subject matter, graphic violence, and allegorical nature of the narrative make it a challenging watch. However, for those who appreciate arthouse horror and want to see something that will stick with them long after the credits roll, Mother! is a must-see.

Mother! is a 2017 drama with a runtime of 1 hour and 55 minutes. It has received mostly positive reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 6.6 and a MetaScore of 76.
