J.Law flips off ‘mother!’ critics

Jennifer Lawrence issued a one-finger salute Thursday during an official Academy screening of her new critically panned flick, “mother!”

Seated next to the film’s director — who is also her boyfriend — Darren Aronofsky, 48, the couple of nearly a year discussed the mind-boggling production at the Celeste Bartos Theater in New York.

Dressed in a floral maxi dress, Lawrence, 27, looked nothing like the character she plays in Aronofsky’s latest, which has since earned an “F” on CinemaScore.

Ahead of the movie’s Sept. 15 release, Lawrence alleged Aronofsky had psychological problems.

“It was an instant ‘yes’ before I even read anything,” Lawrence said during a Toronto International Film Festival conference. “He told me his ideas and I thought they were brilliant and unique and challenging. I’ve been a fan of his for years — I think he’s bold and brave, and I think I said ‘brilliant.’

“Then I got a script and when I read it, I threw it across the room and told him he had severe psychological problems,” she noted.
