there's way better than this

Rating: Null/10 (28 September 2011)

The acting of Portman is fine and makes up for a lot of shortcomings in this movie. All in all, i do not believe this is a good movie.
The major shortcoming is that it is not believable for a top dancer to behave the way Portman's character does. She has one or more mental illnesses and cannot defend herself ??
Apart from that, i found some scenes with Portman and the ballet director obscene. Does that need more explanation ? And it gets worse towards the end, when she embraces him after a good performance. Weird.
The end of the movie is the moment you realized that you have wasted a lot of time in your life by watching this movie.
Let's rate this movie 1/10 for showing some obscene moments and for a poor script, and because it's overrated.
