INDONESIAN REVIEW "brillian dengan memanusiakan sesuatu dengan storytelling yang tak biasa" WTF! Satu kata yang sering dilontarkan buat film ini dengan berbagai macam reaksi dan pendapat dari berbagai orang yang telah menikmatinya. Sungguh memisahkan penonton dalam interpretasinya masing-masing. Well, yes! I agree that this is so fuckin’ insane. Jujur aku bingung mau jelasin soal sinopsis yang betul-betul mendeskripsikan isi sebenarnya, but kurang lebih menceritakan tentang pasangan yang hidup tenang dan damai, dirusak oleh kedatangan orang asing. Tahun ini banyak film yang memberikan pengalaman yang semakin unik, kali ini mother! datang dengan ambisius membawa materi dan esensi yang bisa dibilang cukup berat dan bisa gagal paham. I can say, film ini memiliki writing yang begitu brilian dan film yang disutradarai oleh Aronofsky ini secara keseluruhan seperti tidak memiliki plot karena semuanya bersifat metafora didampingi simbolis. Dengan marketing yang demikian, yang membangkitkan kesan horror dibandingkan dengan apa yang akan penonton saksikan memberikan reaksi yang luar biasa. CINEMASCORE memberi nilai F, dan banyak kritikus bahkan reviewer lainnya yang kebanyakan mungkin tidak siap dan tak mampu menerima sesuatu yang rasanya memang tak masuk akal. Film ini bisa dibilang tidak jelas dalam pace bahkan ceritanya yang terasa melompat-lompat, ya memang aku akui rasanya seperti itu. Tetapi bagiku ada beberapa tujuan mengapa Aronofsky membuat hal seperti itu. It’s unusual in storytelling dan film ini crazy-super-double-insane ride. Kemudian perbedaan kontras pada perpindahan adegan, kadang cepat kadang lambat, belum lagi kepikiran dengan apa yang ingin Aronofsky ceritakan. He’s not a god because of this, he’s still him. Seperti yang orang bilang dan deeply agree bahwa film ini memiliki sangkut paut dengan cerita biblical. Film ini lebih kepada menyoroti pandangan seorang mother (I don’t want to spoil) dari awal hingga sekarang ini. Dimana begitu jelas bahwa Aronofsky ingin penontonnya untuk tahu dan merenungi. Pada dasarnya seperti memanusiakan sesuatu agar bisa dimengerti oleh manusia yang terkadang kurang terketok hatinya. Pandangannya terhadap rumahnya (kalimat metafora) yang betul-betul menjadi nightmare gara-gara kita. Kemudian mengkritisi sifat manusia yang tidak ada puasnya dan berbagai macam interpretasi lainnya. Tetapi dilain sisi, walau everything feels brilliant, cerita yang dibawakan terkadang kurang klik di first-act untuk first-time watch walau pada akhirnya hingga credits aku terdiam dan memikirkan soal ini sepanjang hari. Ini adalah sebuah bahasan general yang harus kita renungi. Kemudian aku ingin memberi apresiasi pada Jennifer Lawrence, performancenya bagus walau rada trying dan agak lain ngeliat dirinya yang begitu soft. Dan pada interview dengan THR dia mengakui bahwa karakter yang dia bawa kali ini sungguh berat dan diluar dari capabilitynya. Selain itu, para cast terlihat begitu bagus terutama Michelle Pfeiffer. Aku rasa Aronofsky sangat berani dan siap menerima apapun reaksinya. Ini adalah sajian yang membuatku takjub sekali atas isi yang ingin dia sampaikan. Merangkum cerita yang rasanya banyak sampai berabad-abad menjadi dua jam yang berhasil menampar pipi gua tanpa ada merah. Akhir kata, tak semua orang bisa menikmati dan mempunyai satu pemikiran yang sama, dengan reaksi yang membludak dan ragam interpretasi walau terkoneksi dalam benang merah, membuat Aronofsky merasa berhasil membuat film ini bahkan Martin Scorsese memberi dukungan penuh padanya. Tetapi sangat disayangkan, ketika dia membeberkan maksud (yang masih belum aku baca) dari film ini. Seharusnya dibiarkan hal tersebut sampai pada masanya maksud dari film itu terkuak dan sukses. Banyak film yang berada dalam proses ini yang pada akhirnya berhasil di titik terakhir dan tetap tidak membeberkan esensinya. Tetapi keputusan sudah terjadi, selagi kita memahaminya, jadikan film ini bagai refleksi untuk kita sebagai manusia. P.S. Kalau nonton film ini, nonton sampai credits habis dengan mendengarkan lagunya yang begitu sedih. Menurutmu gimana? Tulis di komen! HAVE A NICE DAY AND LIVE FOR MOVIES! RATING: 9.4/10

"brilliant on how humanize something on its point of view that remarkable to be reflection" WTF! One word that is often made for this movie with various kinds of reactions and opinions from various people who have enjoyed it. It really separates the audience in their respective interpretations. Well, yes! I agree that this is so fuckin 'insane. Honestly I'm confused to be explain you about the synopsis that really describes the actual content, but rather telling that, so this is about a couple who live in peace, destroyed by the arrival of strangers. Many films this year come with unique experiences, this time mother! comes with ambitious move in material and essence which can be said quite heavy and possibly misunderstood. I can say, this movie has a brilliant writing and the film directed by Aronofsky as a whole as it doesn’t have a plot because everything is metaphorically accompanied by symbolism. With such marketing like that, which evokes a horror impression compared to what viewers will see to give a tremendous reaction. CINEMASCORE gives F grade, and many critics and even other reviewers who are most likely to be unprepared and incapable of receiving something that feels not logic. This movie is arguably unclear in the pace and even the story that feels like hopping, yes, I admit it. But for me there are some reasons why Aronofsky makes such a thing. It's unusual in storytelling and it's like a crazy-super-double-insane ride. Then the differences of every event and action that feels contrast, sometimes fast-paced sometimes slow-paced. He's not a god because of this, he's still him. As some of people say and deeply agree that this film has a strong connection with a biblical story. The film is more about highlighting the views of a mother (I do not want to spoil) from the beginning until now. It is so clear that Aronofsky wants his audience to know and contemplate. It's basically like humanizing something to be understood by people who are sometimes poorly tainted. Her (mother) point of view of her house (metaphorical sentence) is really a nightmare because of us. Then also criticize the unsatisfied human nature and other interpretations. But on the other hand, though everything feels brilliant, the story is sometimes lacking in first-act for first-time watch although eventually until credits I'm speechless and think about it all day long. This is a general discussion that we should look forward to. Also, because this film has a story like an open interpretation, and seeing like that, it possibly getting misunderstood. Then I want to give Jennifer Lawrence an appreciation, her performances are good though it's rather trying but not in her natural sense and it’s weird to see her so soft in this film. And in the interview with THR she acknowledged that the character she brought this time was really heavy and beyond her capability, plus pray for her diapraghm. In addition, the casts look so great especially Michelle Pfeifer. I think Aronofsky is very bold and must ready to accept any reaction. This is the dish that makes me wonder at what he wants to say. Shorten the story that feels like centuries because it is so many that managed to slap me without any red. Finally, not everybody can enjoy and have the same thought, with the overwhelming reaction and the variety of interpretations but one is always the same, making Aronofsky feel successful in making this film even Martin Scorsese giving full support to him. But very unfortunate, when he explains the meaning, the methaporical in it (which I still haven’t read) from this movie. It should be left to the point where the intentions of the movie were reaching a successful. Many great films were in this process that ultimately succeeds at the last point and still does not reveal the essence of it. But the decision has taken place, as long as we understand it, make this movie as a reflection for us as a human being. P.S. If you watch this film, watch until end even the credits by listening to the song. What do you think? Write down below in comment! HAVE A NICE DAY AND LIVE FOR MOVIES! RATING: 9.4/10
