"If you need to google search the meaning of a movie after watching it, then it was a failure." Do you agree or disagree with this statement?

This quote comes from a Fandango review of Darren Aronofsky’s new film “mother!”, and many other people have the same sentiment.
I saw the film last night and thoroughly enjoyed it (even though it’s downright ludicrous at times) but I can understand why the allegorical nature of the film might frustrate casual movie goers who want something instantly gratifying. Personally, I really enjoy a film that requires the viewer to think about the film long after the credits roll. However, professional film critics were given a special note written by Aronofsky before seeing the film, and it explained why he made the movie and what the overall theme was, giving proper context to the film. On the other hand, regular audiences were given an extremely misleading movie trailer that promised a horror film in the vein of Rosemary’s Baby.
