Mother!
“And leaning on the re-creation myth, Aronofsky makes one more leap: God’s cruelty — and his genius — is for his masculine nature to keep wiping things out and starting over, sucking every ounce of life and energy and creative force from the woman, who just gives and gives and gives.” - Vox
