Jennifer Lawrence dated a director and made all the effort to promote a movie she never really understood.

The movie in question is the horror film titled Mother! directed by Darren Aronofsky. The Hunger Games star played the titular character while dating Afronofsky.

The thriller faced criticism for being too shrouded in symbolism and hard to understand.

Now, during her appearance on Watch What Happens Live, the No Hard Feelings star admitted that she had trouble deciphering the plot just like movie goers.

Host Andy Cohen asked: “On a scale of one to totally confused, how much did you understand your film Mother!?”

Lawrence replied: “I’m going to be honest. Well, I was sleeping with the director, so I had CliffsNotes. So… five? Or a four. But if anybody needs any tips on understanding their films, you know what to do!”

Cohen quipped: “F*** the director?,” Lawrence joked back: “Yeah!”

She then explained what she understood of the film’s plot saying, “The most important thing to know about this film before seeing it is that it’s all allegory. It’s all metaphor that’s tied to this narrative. It’s the creation and decimation of the universe, including Biblical themes and creation of religion.”

“I represent Mother Earth, and what I have is Baby Jesus – if we guess the religion. I play this woman who has built this home from the ground up. I’m in a relationship with an artist who is obsessed with needing appreciation from me first, and then I’m not enough.”

She then shared that she had to do more to promote the movie since she was dating the director, who considered it his “baby.”

She said: “Normally, I promote a movie, ask people to go see it, and then it’s just out of your hands.

“I normally just kind of let it go. Dating the director was different. We’d be on the (press) tour together, and that’s all he wants to talk about, and I get it. It’s his baby,” added the Oscar winner.

Jennifer Lawrence added: “He wrote it. He conceived it. He directed it. I was doing double duty trying to be a supportive partner while also being like, ‘Can I please, for the love of God, not think about Mother! for one second?'”
