Mother! (18) 
(Firstsite, Colchester)                           

(US 2017)

A young couple's idyllic home rapidly becomes a nightmare as soon as they admit strangers in.
Pretentious macabre drama based supposedly on the Creation story (the title character is based around Mother Nature), with stars that distract from the overall point. One of the more extreme mainstream entries in this director's canon.

w,d: Darren Aronofsky

MOTHER! If the poster seemed similar to Black Swan (qv), the content of this film was quite something else.
