overrated pretentious garbage

Rating: 5/10 (30 January 2011)

this film has been so raved about recently recently that when the offer came up to see it how could i refuse? i should have anyway because this is an extremely simplistic and straightforward. nothing about it seems subtle, everything is so blatantly obvious, nothing is played down. for example when she gets the plot of swan lake explained to her its extremely obvious that she is going to die in the end, i predicted from that moment. the way she turns into a psychopath just seems to happen, i cant really see any sort of gradual change to her new character. also i don't quite know what was up with the camera work, it constantly shook about, i don't know why and the camera filter choice just made the film look like crap.
everything just seems to the directors way of saying "i am far superior to all of you" and ended up just being boring. ignore what others say, this film was awful.
