Co-starring Javier Bardem, Ed Harris and Michelle Pfeiffer, even the logline remains vague. In fact, outside of the context of this movie, it sounds like an episode of “The Office.” Here’s the official synopsis:

From filmmaker Darren Aronofsky (Black Swan, Requiem for a Dream), mother! stars Jennifer Lawrence, Javier Bardem, Ed Harris and Michelle Pfeiffer in this riveting psychological thriller about love, devotion and sacrifice.
“mother!” opens on September 15th.
