"The mother of all movies: everything is here, from Hitchcock to cinema verité, and a protagonist whose infatuation with cinema hasn’t been matched (and maybe shouldn’t)."

"On the surface it's the simple story of a family going to bury their mother; underneath it is a roiling tale of desperation, love, and struggle."

Honestly, nothing compares to Mother! I would agree the film's trailer and marketing did not do the film justice; however, what can really be said without giving it all away which I also hate.
Mother! is a unique film experience which will not be duplicated for me any time soon.

I loved it.

"Kathy Acker was a punk-rock, post-modern writer-artist and she wrote this piece after her mother died. The title says all there is to know about her feelings towards her mother. Acker’s writing coalesces to its most epic as she reinvents, bends, and destroys language, to build a world that is a complete psychological immersion and creative experience. Her books are a gift to humanity."

When Delfina was seven, her father killed her mother. So she grew up with her grandparents. Questions about her mother and the murder haunted Delfina through into adulthood, and her large Polish family could do nothing to answer them. This story about passion and disappointment was lovingly rendered, and evocative. You can read my full review here. https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2014/04/04/on-passion-and-disappointment/
