Works as both a horror movie and an examination of the immigrant crisis, with themes that extend to guilt, displacement, and the horrors of ghosts past. A great film, stylish and unnerving.
I never laughed so hard and so long !!! It's nearly impossible to rate because no other movie has ever try so hard to shock, disgust, outrage or just make bad jokes and somehow nails to makes you laugh. It doesn't count for nothing to cast as many stars in this independent comedy as in an Hollywood blockbuster. It's a wonderful idea to push the boundaries of what is considered as acceptable and I can't wait to see another movie that has the guts to do the same.
This is just....Uugghhh... First movie that I rate 1/10!
An enjoyable and inspiring comedy drama. Almost made me get off the sofa and go for a run. I say almost, because I decided to eat a packet of Quavers and play video games afterwards instead.
omit 4chan's help and research and claim it was the epic facegroup group who also get a innocent dude killed in the meantime. Cringe documentary, giving a animal killer a documentary is good!!! 4chan bad!!!!

Watching this in a totally white audience was an experience. The little titters and nudges when 'make america great again' was mentioned, or about police officers shooting unarmed black people, or even one becoming president; to the we won mentality at the final phone call.
Then the deathly silence with the current footage being shown. I think quite a few people realised it's not just references.
These people still exist today.
They still have their rallies.
They still have their marches.
They still murder in uniform.
And they still hold these abhorrent views.
I think I even heard some people sniff away some tears right at the end once they saw the footage and heard the words of people who were there.
Enjoy the film; enjoy the jokes (it is a funny film) but make no doubt the characters shown still exist.
Mother! was a moving experience. I think if you go in with an open mind you won’t be disappointed. If you’re looking for a standard horror film then see something else. If you want to see something original, Mother! is one of the best I’ve seen this year.
i think of it like this: if youre going to eat a sandwich, you would just enjoy it more if you knew no one had fucked it.
At the start this seems normal but man, does shit get weird. LaKeith Stanfield and Tessa Thompson are great. I love me some coke snorting Armie Hammer too. Plus David Cross's voice over is perfect. This is not for everyone but worth a watch to see how bat shit crazy Boots Riley is.
Well, now I know what it would look like if BoJack Horseman was real…and naked.
