During an interview on the Watch What Happens Live show, actress Jennifer Lawrence revealed that she dated the director of the film “Mother!” and that she still doesn’t fully understand the movie.

Actress Jennifer Lawrence revealed in an interview on the Watch What Happens Live show that she doesn’t fully understand the film “Mother!” by her ex-boyfriend Darren Aronofsky. Lawrence and Aronofsky were in a relationship for a year, which ended in November 2017.

During the show, host Andy Cohen asked how much of the film she understood. She responded:

“I’ll be honest. Well, I was sleeping with the director, so I had some privileged notes. So… five? Or four. But if anyone needs tips on how to understand his films, you know who to go to!”

The film “Mother!” (2017) tells the story of an artist and his wife who live in a peaceful house in the countryside when their lives suddenly change with the arrival of unexpected visitors.


In an interview with the Deadline portal, the actress further developed the ideas behind the film. “The most important thing to know about this film before watching it is that it is entirely allegorical. Everything is a metaphor tied to this narrative. It’s about the creation and destruction of the universe, including biblical themes and the creation of religion,” she explained.

The actress also revealed that the time she spent with the director was difficult because she had to balance the relationship with the promotional tour.

“He wrote, conceived, and directed. I had a double role: trying to be a supportive partner while thinking, ‘Can I, for the love of God, stop thinking about Mother! for a second?’”
