Mother! is the kind of movie you call a ‘film’ because you’ll never truly understand what it means.
It’s… it’s… art, people.
It’s the kind of ‘art’ that’ll stick in your mind for days after you’ve watched it, as you try to work out whether it was a crock of sh*t or whether you’re just not smart enough to get it.
Then you’ll remember that you still don’t understand Mulholland Drive and realise that you should probably stick to the Police Academy movies from now on.
It’s also the kind of ‘film’ that will remind you why you hate house guests and why, no, Aunt Margaret cannot stay in the spare room while she’s in town.

The basic premise of the movie is that Jennifer Lawrence's character 'Mother' is married to a poet called 'HIM' (played by Javier Bardem).
They live in a big house in the middle of nowhere - it's pretty much in the middle of a field in the middle of some woods without even a driveway leading up to it.
The house belongs to HIM, and Lawrence's character is rebuilding it after it was mostly destroyed in a fire that killed HIM's first wife.
HIM basically walks around the house all day looking for inspiration for his next poem.

Well thanks for the article because the trailer was confusing.
I just read the whole plot on Wikipedia, and Holy crap, does it sound bizarre! Not my thing, I'm waiting for Thor: Ragnarok.
