mother! with Jennifer Lawrence
I fell asleep a little more than halfway through, so I can't really claim I wish I can unsee it, but woke up to the startling sound of LX sobbing - due to a scene near ending of the movie that was "so f***ed up" it shouldn't have been allowed in an "R" rated movie without some sort of explicit disclaimer at the beginning of the movie other than the typical "violence" warning, according to her.
Boyfriend said it was the most disturbing thing he's ever seen in a movie, ever.
Glad I fell asleep.

I've heard it's not worth watching. I'll probably give it a try when it comes on one of the movie channels, and there's nothing else to watch. I really hate wasting my time on movies that I can't figure out at the end. But I can't turn it off, because I want to find out how it ends and have it explained to me. There's one movie that is really boring, but the ending is worth it. The ending explains the boring mess and is quite an intriguing idea. I don't recall the name though. I caught it on one late night, and didn't catch the name.

Oh, I'm pretty sure you could figure out this one - from the kid's description of it, it's in-your-face graphic. I hate watching movies halfway through, but after hearing their reaction, I've got no desire to finish watching it. I'd heard it wasn't a good movie also, and that it got really bad reviews. When they rented it though, based on the trailers, they thought it was a psychological thriller/horror movie. I told them, I'd read it was more of a film noir type thing, and that the entire movie is a metaphor for how humankind treats the earth. After they watched it, they said the metaphor was very apparent - but that it was taken too far. Even Jennifer Lawrence, seeing the final film on screen for the first time, wondered if they went too far, although apparently some of the scenes the producer thought "went a little too far" had already been edited out. The main scene in dispute with LX and the Boyfriend crosses a taboo that is rarely seen in movies, and this one is very graphic. Here's a bit about it from the filmmaker's point of view, without giving away any of the movie: www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2017/09/darren-aronofsky-explains-motherAnd if you want to be prepared, here's an article about the scene in question, without having to view the graphic details: www.refinery29.com/2017/09/172435/mother-eating-baby-death-scene-movie-ending?bucketed=true

Like you I only watched about half of this, didn't fall asleep but found it so ordinary I just gave up. Jennifer Lawrence in the lead role didn't help either, find you very bland as an actress.
