One of the hardest films to watch. But beautifully made, Beautiful seems an odd word to use but it really is visually stunning in my opinion
2022-03-16 14:14:48 +0000 UTCGod, this film is such a tough watch. I saw it for the first time when I was quite young. I could see why it was incredible from a filmmaking standpoint, but I didn't quite understand the severity of the consequences. The Jennifer Connelly scene...I couldn't even watch the first time and definitely couldn't this time even though I knew what was coming. Ellen Burstyn is an absolutely incredible performer and this was her best role hands down. She is a humongous talent. The struggles she was facing hit way too close to home this time around because I've been struggling with an intense eating disorder recently. Everything that was ailing her made so much sense to me personally. I had an inordinate amount of trouble watching her scenes which means they were insanely effective. I am a huge Darren Aronofsky fan (particularly Black Swan and Mother!, love his style). This is definitely one of his best films, but I'm gonna have to wait another six years to watch it. It's gonna gather dust in my collection for a bit. Not for the faint of heart, particularly people who have personal experience with drug addiction. It's phenomenal though. I have no doubt we'll all suffer through incredibly uncomfortable FLRs in the future, Shaun! Shit....I need to hug a teddy bear or something.
