She’s briefly dipped her toe in the horror, too, with 2012’s House at the End of the Street, and has stayed away from the genre until this weekend, with the debut of director Darren Aronofsky’s mother!

Director Darren Aronofsky has been quite candid about the allegorical nature of the film, which necessitates a dissection after viewing, resulting in not only mixed reactions of the final product, but also frustrations at not seeing a thriller starring one of Hollywood’s most acclaimed actresses. If you’ve seen Mother! Aronofsky earned critical acclaim for earlier films including The Wrestler and Black Swan. Lawrence revealed that this worries her because she thinks that is not how it works.

As the bootlicker media attempts to convince themselves that social justice warrior-Lawrence’s venomous attacks on the customers and their intelligence (The Princess of Pro-Science blamed Trump for two hurricanes) had nothing to do with this weekend’s career catastrophe, I want you to keep two words in mind… I mean, this was not much more than the Nicolas Cage movie “Vengeance”, which made just $5,000.
