Mother (2017)

A relationship gradually deteriorates once strangers are invited to share the couple's home.

A metaphorical film from one end to the other. It uses religious symbols full of significance for both religious people and atheists. It is a shame that the film was rejected precisely for this content by people who cannot discern the truth from the doctrine.
Even with leaving religion aside, the film is a poetic exaggeration of the experiences of certain types of women as a result of the birth of a child or the gradual deterioration of what they consider dear.
The feelings of psychological suffocation and panic and fear of a Cassandra-typed fate are so palpable that the film is difficult to watch but with its impeccable cinematography and direction and with Jennifer Lawrence's mastery, you can hardly refrain from continuing.

Screenplay / Direction: Darren Aronofsky
Featuring: Jennifer Lawrence, Javier Bardem, Ed Harris, Michelle Pfeiffer, Brian Gleeson, Domhnall Gleeson
