Mother! - literally just watched this and am posting this in the throes of rage so might update in the am but this is the worst piece of self serving, arrogant, pretentious garbage parading as thoughtful cinema I have seen in a long time, maybe ever. Not even a wonderful turn from J-Laws worth sitting through this s**t for 0/10 and I cannot recommend highly enough to go see anything else at the cinema.

It' is quite a divisive film but I liked it.

Burn After Reading.

Didn't really know what to expect going in but gee whiz, that was an odd, entertaining 90 mins! Great cast, had some good twists, was completely absurd. I actually loved it haha.
Haha I had the same experience. Went in not knowing a thing about it. Turns out it's probably the funniest movie of the 2000s for me.

My rage has chilled this morning but I'm still standing with a 0/10 for Mother! and I cant recommend highly enough to not bother with it. In terms of positives, the first half is very well made, unnerving and uncomfortable with the way its filmed and the sound design. Unfortunately it completely and utterly loses the plot for the second half and buries itself under a thick layer of wank and horrible choices. Read a long winded pretentious rant from Darren where he talks about how the ideas came to him in a "fever dream" and that makes perfect sense of the second half. Don't get me wrong, the film doesn't make any sense, but how he came up with the garbage makes perfect sense.

Really needs its own thread.

0/10 is a pretty massive call... I'd give those type of scores for the Will Ferrel drivel I've sat thru.

And I hate LOTR would give it a zero too. Horrid shit that literally makes me agitated to watch.

I'm standing by it. I always say to my friends about films I don't like "look I didn't rate it but give it a watch and see what you think" I actually went to the effort to message my mates who like movies this morning to say "please don't go see it, its trash" and they all messaged back "you never say that, so it must be bad"

Guardians of the Galaxy 2 - couldn't figure out what was going on for the first 10 minutes so me and Mrs Chef nodded at each other, turned it off and went upstairs to create our own sci/fi space opera.
Looked cool tho, but very confusing.
