Review

first the good: it’s the best ballet film i’ve ever seen. considering it’s so cronenberg-esque it’s also the best cronenberg film i’ve seen since the fly. now the bad: it’s the worst aronofsky film ever. it’s been downhill since pi and i’ve frankly lost hope that he’ll ever regain that sort of form. there are thematic elements here that are similar and it wasn’t a terribly uninteresting film, but it wasn’t raw like pi or powerful like requiem for a dream or as grandieose like the fountain.
