Oh why o why??

Rating: 1/10 (1 February 2011)

Apologies for the bad review, I can't even seem to make the effort to write about this film.
Such a freaking waste of a good idea. I don't know where to start. This is the sort of movie you know it'll be irretrievably bad after you've passed the first 10 minutes. God, I hate that feeling. I'm actually very very angry that such an interesting and unusual plot idea has been butchered the way it's been. It's bland, badly written, full of awful clichés at every level and about every 2 minutes. And the camera moves are nauseous.
Flat, unemotional, linear, unconvincing, so annoyingly predictable. I'm embarrassed for Vincent Cassel. How did he ever end up in such a mess of a film? I'm no prude at all, but the sex is so obviously gratuitous (and badly directed, think either Charmed, Buffy or Angel) that it made me cringe. Why bother at all in this case, just stick doing TV shows! I'm no ballet expert but for the little knowledge I have of this Art I sense every actual ballet dancer will find this appalling. They even managed to make the music sound bad. Tchaikovsky butchered too!! Waste, waste and more waste. I wish this film could be wiped off from the surface of the planet and be done again. The only redeemable thing is the excellent work of the costume designer.
Another case of Emperor's new clothes even if I do respect other people's opinions, I truly believe this is one of the worst films ever made that leaves you with a bitter frustration thinking of what it could have been. :(
