I agree that no one leaves in the middle, but I can't tell where you landed. Which is fair -- I'm having a similar see-saw reaction, but am settling on "mildly fascinating hot garbage (would not recommend, but go ahead and see it if you must)".
Loved it, great film. I can't "recommend" it, though. Art like this is, and any subsequent meaning, is clearly in the yes and mind of the beholder. I found it as strong as Blue Velvet and Videodrome. the only 2 films, besides Mother!, that I have attended that folks walked out of. If you love Film, go see it. If you just like "movies" go see it anyway :)
@7 I think She is many things, Paradise, the Universe, the Earth, she is His Creation before them pesky craaaaaaaazy people show up and, of course, ruin everything!
I was bored at times during mother! which with all the bombastic visuals was strange in hindsight. I recalled that same feeling with Requiem for a Dream so I think Mr. Aronofsky and I are through. Hmmm, mother! reminded me of a band I saw recently which I did not like but it sure sounded like they practiced a lot...good musicianship and being "tight" is never enough. This movie was a fucking mess and I am sure he's quite proud of it.
