Just got back from seeing it. Wasn't sure about this one. I thought Aronofsky's Requiem for a Dream was really good, and and liked what I saw of the Wrestler (still need to finish that). However, I wasnt really sure where he was going with a movie about Swan Lake.
It was F#%&ING INCREDIBLE. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
Dont want to spoil anything, so thats pretty much all I have to say for now.
I've been waiting for this one all year. I don't think it's coming to town until it goes into wide release 12/22, though.
I saw this today and I really liked it. The movie is actually somewhat of a freaky pyscological thriller about one person's pursuit of a goal leading into madness. As well as the toll that a person who difines themselves by one can suffer from.
Natalie Portman does one of her best performaces in this movie. I've never really dogged on her for the Star Wars Prequals-but at the same time she never really did anything that impressed me until now. And Mila Kunis also does a good job in her role.
The movie has some very interesting visuals, many which causes some winces from the audience (as well as one or two unintentional laughs).
There were a few flaws, but still a really good film.
I hear it's a fine film. On top of that I also hear there's a lovely "adult-ish" scene between Mila and Natalie, thus clinching the certainty that I will see it.
:buggedout:
She was so hot in Closer.
