Film Chat

This week we review Darren Aronofsky's divisive psychological horror film mother!, a half-hearted effort by a timid hack who would've given his movie title at least three exclamation marks if he was committed to the sky-high concept. Just one "!"? Give it some welly Darren. Plus, we discuss, and give thumbs up to, the operatic Korean thriller The Villainess and social housing documentary Dispossession; we evaluate the prospects for a Watchmen TV series; and we ask why horror films love to put women through the ringer so much more than men.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
