I was just thinking about how I never watched Mother! Is it good? I like Aronofsky in general (the Fountain is one of my faves) but I'm not much of a movie-head these days.

I liked it at first but

spoiler

when I realized it's just a Bible allegory, I couldn't really pay attention to the movie itself and it just became "what is this a reference to / the next reference?" in my head and it got very boring to watch. It seemed like things just happened because they had to for the allegory to exist

Its well made and it goes preeeeetty far so it should certainly make you feel things. What should be subtext is all in your face and split in two sides that conflict with each other so it feels weird and annoying.

By comparison the fountain has an amazing soundtrack, original looking fx and a straightforward theme and plot.
