Mother!

Darren Aronofsky's most divisive film is a controlled-burn allegory you can read as Genesis, climate change, the trauma of female muse-hood, or all three at once. Jennifer Lawrence anchors the chaos as the only stable presence inside a house that is also the world.

• Marketed deceptively as a horror film, prompting one of cinema's lowest-ever audience scores.
• Filmed in continuous single-take sequences with handheld camera throughout.
• The screenplay was written by Aronofsky in five days.
• No exterior shots — the entire film was shot in the house set built indoors.
• Jennifer Lawrence broke a rib while filming the climactic crowd scene.

• "You give and you give and you give."
• "You ungrateful child."
• "I am I."
• "Where do you come from? What do you want?"
• "I have a chunk of glass in my hand."
