mother! is hands-down the best movie of 2017 I got to watch thus far. An almost annoyingly artistic movie, symbolism on five-too-many levels, I can't see it's successful to me as a whole perhaps but it is stunning to watch and truly daring. That being said, I haven't had a chance to watch Lady Bird and a few others yet; I live in Singapore and we don't get everything right away, only the major blockbusters.
