In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

Despite being provocative and symbolic, 'mother!' is not a poster child for Hollywood wokeness. It prefers allegory and shock over box-ticking, offering more to offend and puzzle than to preach or pander.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

'mother!' focuses more on allegory and metaphor than on pushing identity politics or shoehorning in trendy representation. While the narrative may be divisive and abstract, it doesn't appear to prioritize modern ideological checkboxes over story or character realism.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The film critiques aspects of religion and human nature, but does so in a complex, symbolic way. Some viewers might interpret the negative portrayals of faith and mankind as undermining tradition, but it seems more interested in existential questions than in tearing down cultural foundations for 'woke' reasons.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

'mother!' isn't really pushing a singular modern ideology. There's plenty to argue about, but you’ll struggle to find explicit lectures or caricatures of traditional worldviews. The film is more an artistic fever dream than an ideological rallying cry.
