Let's start saying that this "review" is not for the people, it's for the respect that this cleaver living film deserves, and i want to be clear that i know that my own perception is not going to give any meaning (or take it) to this film, it is already what it is.
Reading parts of some reviews in here, i could notice that so many people dislikes this film, and i didn't know why; Those reviews even make me doubt a little about the film and his creator (shame on you), but the film is perfect., for moments reminds me to Tarkovsky, von Trier, but its way too different, in a good way.
And after seeing the film, i know the "why" (people dislikes the film) its to much, to big, and doesn't slow down., i Will NOT spoil anything, just going to put some basics clear., Aronofsky as other talented minds in the film industry has created a path that we can follow, but when its about to describe some characteristic style or his own personal mark in films, the thing is clear, he changes through his films, he develops and increases the complexity of the plot and characters.
So "Mother!" (and with the possibility that i am overexcited about what i just saw) i can say that Aronofsky, as always, has crated something that breakes any mold, any rules or paradigms, and goes beyond of expectations and limits of his own films Mother! Is AMAZING, it's Greate, convoluted, with so many layers, Life, death, nature, humankind, love, god, end of times? All this in a metaphoric visual and breathing whole, a glimpse of history and existence.
The main problem with this film (becaus it exist) is the next: people the same film establishes this as a concept in the narrative and plot, people (you) that lives without knowing nothing, and I'm not going to apologize if someone or somehow this people feels offended, (you started) because they are disrespecting something bigger than them, something that Will even live longer tan them, and something that they Will never be able to understand. Some people doesn't appreciate art (i don't like that Word either), but this film is not that (only) it's smartness, intelligence, complexity. But if you are different, and if you are just worried that your great director of always, perhaps, missed the target with this film, FEAR NOT, just go and watch it just remember Aronofsky made it bigger and deeper this time, so watch for the symbolism's, metaphors, everything hides a piece of this puzzle. And remember, a film (proper film) is not made for the audiences, it's made to search and find, to develop and visualize, to give life to an idea, to create a philosophy, and a view from a different unique perspective, and this film is not the exception, it's not made for you, and me, so, it's not made to confuse you, or trick you, not the hidden things, not the unusual way to deliver the message, not the symbolism or metaphor, those things., exist as a vessel, and in this case, the only vessel that could deliver this complexity, this bigger reasoning. everything in this film exist as a piece in a clockwork that makes function the entire concept correctly, a masterfully crafted and tridimensional vessel of thinking., ideas, visual, sound all three together., there is no way to some one could explain to any one, what this movie is about, because all the necessary things to explain that, are already in the movie, any other interpretation, video explanatory (youtube) will be incomplete and for so, wrong (and in the case that the explanation is were correct, to hear the words of some one else's it is not to understand).
Its a film of 2 hours that tries and achieves on joining together so many things, that if Aronofsky would like to explain it commonly, it Will became in the longest film ever, the density of the plot it's necessary, it's like a compressed digital file, is a substance, a concentrate, an essence. And i know that not to many % Will be glad with this film/way of thinking, not even my "reviw", and that's OK, because the film is not made for the bunch but for the few., and becomes a bitter-sweet sensation, for one side i Will like to see this amazing movie to be recognized for what it is, but at the same time when its not recognized, as sad as it can be, i can appreciate that something this unique do not fall in the minds of ignorant ones, and that compensates just a bit.
For me it's a solid 9, and that's because more tan sure i missed something (even when i do hate give an empty number at something this great), but i Will give a 10 just to put some balance, i'm not trying to be objective in my rate with that 10/10, not when most of the rates are so wrong)
PS. A similar thing happened with NOAH, another amazing film, so please, do not hate what its above your capabilities, learn to embrace your flaws and do something about it. forgive the misspellings, English is not my native.
Thanks IMDb, thank you so much Darren Aronofsky.

The Movie could be a solid 8 to 8.5 or even 9 but not less, it's not if i like the movie or not, it's about if the movie its a good film, and absolutely it is.
Don't take it wrong, but there is a lot of people that are seeing but they don't see. First: The movie its all the opposite to slow, its a smart and deep film, in which every scene that seems to be slow or pointless is because its charged with a lot of hidden and implicit information, of course the movie do not stop to explain anything of this, and if you are not watching carefully you could miss it.
Second: I was lucky to have the chance of read the book like a 11 years ago, and I'm pretty sure that if i hadn't done it i would be as confused as many of the people that saw this movie, The book goes from existence to social behavior, political conflicts and so many others... being a book its a fully view of the plot implicit as explicit that will drive you across the story without leaving space to doubt. The book for me was a little bit serious in the storytelling with more than many details about the plot characters and places, kind of a easy reading., but if there is reason of why the movie is so good, its because it feels like a extract, a dense or solid summary of the book, and this leaves you with a reinterpretation more than an adaptation of it. Add the great use of the camera, the clean aesthetic treatment, amazing background music, and all the simple and natural acting.
The movie its not simple even if you tough it was obvious, its easy to believe that you saw everything and think that you understand it, but there is a lot happening in every minute of the film.
Its a film that appears to be slow but it isn't you blink and you miss something, and reminds me to another heavy, deeper and slow-fast film, "ENEMY (2013)" also a reinvention of a book: the Jose Saramago's novel (El Hombre Duplicado).
(forgive my English, i know its not good)
