A weird black comedy film by Lanthimos. Both Farrel and Weisz were equally good
It's weird,it's crazy,but it's brilliant and straight forward.

This film belongs to the category of 'I want this to end quickly' Director is telling the story based on the Greek myth,Iphigenia,just replacing the old with modern characters.He creates a very disturbing film,with it's irritating background music and disgusting visuals,along with brilliant performances from the actors.

It is a tragedy and the camera angles,background music and the actors conveys the sadness and misery to the viewer.It is not a bad film,it's brilliant in it's own way..I thought I won't watch anything unsettling as Mother!,this soon,but,I was wrong.

It was not my cup of tea..

Why I watched the film?

One name -Kristen Stewart.I love that girl since I saw her as Bella Swan in Twlight saga.She is so beautiful. OK.. Now that I have admitted that,i was also noticing the fact that she was doing serious roles now and getting recognition for the same and coming out of the shade of Bella.The trailer looked good and one of my fb friends suggested this movie and so I watched it one evening.And Kristen was awesome and so was the movie...

More than 70% of earth is water.We still don't know what lurks in the depth of the ocean..But human greed has no limit.We are drilling deeper and deeper....And when we break the rules the nature responds back and as a result  we have to fight for survival (The thing we are doing now ..I mean the whole world is in quarantine fighting Corona) Here the survivors has to face creatures of the deep...

As the name suggests the whole movie is happening underwater.It is full of darkness and the viewers will feel like we are also there with the crew...It is scary and thrilling at the same time...

The story also explores the relationships and feeling forming between the people and we will get an idea of their past and what made them who they are......

It is not a big budget film but it is indeed a good watch...

So people,today is Kristen's 30th birthday.And I thought,hey let me write this blog today..You know,it seemed a right thing to do....

So,happy birthday Kristen...

I am not a fan of anthology,but I am a fan of anime-exactly the reason why I watched this Netflix Original movie.

These are simple stories which will takes us back to our childhood...Stories that will bring back the memories of our grandparents,friends and first love.I remembered my grandmother and my first love as I was watching 'The Rice Noodles'.Sadly both of them are not with me anymore....But there is a happiness in that pain too........ 

This is my favorite anthology film till date.
A beautiful experience...
