I often look at reviews after I watch a movie and it’s usually a terrible idea. It’s like we’re training ourselves to become angry. On the other hand, every once in a while reading reviews makes you realize a whole bunch of stuff that you otherwise would have missed. This happened to me with Mother!, the movie with Jennifer Lawrence.
That’s funny, yesterday when I was reading this thread I thought specifically about Aronofsky as an example of a director that tells deep, layered, surrealistic stories that don’t go over well with the average moviegoer. My mind went to Pi and The Fountain, but I had forgotten mother! completely, so thanks for the reminder.
