Directed by Academy Award-nominee Darren Aronofsky (Black Swan), the film revolves around Mother (Lawrence) and Him (Bardem) who live in a seemingly idyllic existence in a secluded paradise. But the couple’s relationship is tested when man (Ed Harris) and woman (Michelle Pfeiffer) arrive at their home uninvited. Answering that knock disrupts their tranquil existence and as more and more guests arrive, mother is forced to revisit everything she knows about love, devotion and sacrifice.

“Javier’s character has an inherent darkness,” notes producer Scott Franklin. “His character evolves throughout the film in a subtle way and you realize the character traits he has towards the end of the movie, he’s had all along. He just hid them.”
Co-star Michelle Pfeiffer, who plays woman, Ed Harris’s wife, says Bardem’s ability to play this character is a testament to what a great actor he is. “Javier is like a big teddy bear, very sweet. He is so good at playing these really evil, menacing characters” but in reality nothing could “be further from the truth.”

Rated R-16 Without Cuts by the MTRCB, m o t h e r ! is distributed in the Philippines by United International Pictures through Columbia Pictures.
