10 Under-Appreciated Recent Movies Destined To Become Cult Classics

10. Mother!

Mother is in rare company as it's one of the few films to receive a F Cinemascore (the compiled rating of some viewers during the film’s opening) and still be praised by critics. Usually, Cinemascore is a tell of how much the movie met the viewers expectations (plot and style wise, not quality) and mother! was not something anyone expected.

The flick came from director Darren Aronofsky who has been known to distress people from time to time (Requiem for a Dream, Black Swan, Noah), and he set out to do it once more. The film has numerous interpretations with some seeing it as a clear-cut global warning message and other are sure it’s a reimagining of the bible and mother nature’s role.

The film has somewhat positive reviews, but most viewers didn’t seem to agree with them. The movie has already become infamous for just how absolutely bonkers it is, but no doubt it will stand the test of time and become one of, if not definitively, Aronofsky’s best work. The lackluster box office wouldn’t prove it, but mother! was one of the most talked about and debated films of 2017.
