The movie has been shrouded in secrecy since its inception, and was kept entirely under wraps until it was unveiled on the fall film festival circuit at Venice and the Toronto International Film Festival. It’s as grotesque and messed up as you think.
Film students can study “mother!” because it is told as an allegory.
Jennifer Lawrence is dishing on whether or not she wants to be a mother at some point. “While the movie is incredibly intellectual, it can certainly appeal to a certain audience, but if it’s too intricate, only a small amount of people are going to watch it”.
“Anytime you do something that aggressive there are going to be people who enjoy it, who want to be on that roller coaster ride, and then there are others who say, ‘Oh no, that was not for me, ‘” he told Entertainment Weekly.
A CinemaScore is derived from surveys conducted with audience members leaving a screening, so for a film to get an “F” isn’t necessarily indicative of the actual product, so much as disappointment with the overall experience.

In fact, mother! is the only new release since July that came in under a B-. Perhaps anxious that his film would be misinterpreted, Aronofsky has agreed to a number of interviews since the film was released on Friday, describing some of the metaphors in detail (click at your own risk of spoilers).
After the Sony e-mail hack years ago, it was revealed that Lawrence was getting much less than her co-stars in “American Hustle” and since then, she has spoken openly against the gender pay gap.
“Nothing about mother! makes one lick of sense as Darren Aronofsky’s corny vision of madness turns more hilarious than scary”.
