Leave your thoughts about Mother.
| Another GazeLaura StaabShould we require a satire of misogynistic violence executed in the name of creation, we do not need it from Aronofsky, who is all extremes, no nuance. |
| Cinemaphile.orgDavid KeyesIn a climate where we are quick to diminish and disown artists for forcing their brutal honesty on audiences, "Mother!" is a challenge worth facing. |
| DeciderJoe ReidThis isn't just a haunted house story; it's more elemental than that. |

| Tribune News ServiceKatie WalshWhat makes mother! brilliant is that it is open enough to read and project your own experiences onto it, which makes it deeply personal and universal. |
