Darren Aronofsky’s mother! starring Jennifer Lawrence, Javier Bardem, Ed Harris, and Michelle Pfeiffer is the most clearly Christian mainstream movie since The Passion of the Christ. A superbly acted, ably directed, mediocre Paradise Lost, the film confounds critics, particularly on the Right, and their confusion buttresses the movie’s vision.
The consensus among reviewers and audiences of all stripes is that mother! is an environmentalist diatribe in which Lawrence’s character Mother represents Mother Nature or Gaia as a poor, put-upon young woman abandoned by God and man.
