So I sit down and watch this controversial movie on my own. Because of the visceral reviews and back and forward opinions. I knew Alicia would fall asleep on this one. What I find is one of the most creative movies interpreted in a long time.
A couple's relationship is tested when uninvited guests arrive at their home, disrupting their tranquil existence. From filmmaker Darren Aronofsky (Black Swan, Requiem for a Dream), mother! psychological thriller about love, devotion and sacrifice.
