The film is currently “Fresh” on Rotten Tomatoes with a respectable 68%, but the audience score for the movie hasn’t been quite as forgiving — coming in at a far less impressive 48%.
The film is clearly not for everybody, and Jennifer Lawrence seems to think that her brother is one of those people who won’t make it through mother!’s full runtime.
While many critics have liked the film, it has definitely struggled to achieve mainstream appeal; after all, this is Darren Aronofsky we are talking about.
It’s worth mentioning that this response to mother! has been relatively common.
