Jennifer Lawrence's First Reaction to 'Mother!' Was That It Went 'Too Far'
The warnings for "Mother!" just keep coming.
Even Jennifer Lawrence was shocked when she saw her upcoming horror flick for the first time. Speaking to Variety, she admitted she was "shaken" after viewing it.
"My first reaction was that we took it too far," she said.
Once she got beyond her initial response, though, Lawrence reevaluated and realized that they had accomplished what they set out to do.
"We have a message and if we watered it down to make people comfortable then what's the point?" she said. "Why even make it?"
Based on what Lawrence said, audiences should expect the movie to make them uncomfortable. It is going to be intense, so prepare yourself accordingly. This is, after all, a movie that Lawrence got so into that she "kind of threw a rib out" at one point, according to director Darren Aronofsky. We just hope it's not so disturbing as to cause us to suffer the same fate.
"Mother!" opens Sept. 15.
