mother!

I was worried this was going to be one of those movies that don’t provide you the necessary tools to work past its ambiguity. About halfway through though, everything started to click, and it ended up being not anywhere near as cryptic as I anticipated. Upsetting and unsettling. Bittersweet, in the dreariest sense. Brutal and beautiful; mother! makes us reflect on how harsh humanity as a whole may be treating the very world that allows us to prosper here in the first place.
