Spiral into insanity

Rating: 10/10 (7 October 2011)

What an incredible portrayal of madness. Of that decent. From mere mediocrity to perfection. That quest. That drive to become the best at whatever it is you are rabid to become. It is within us all, every single last one of us and this film taps into that psyche, that inner self we all have somewhere. Natalie is incredible in this film. How did she not get recognised for this at the highest level? I watched and was caught within the first act, drawn in, left battered and bruised. What this director does is beyond description, beyond word and critique, the only way to know is to experience this amazing portrayal of what it is to be a genius. To suffer the doubts, the insecurities of that existence. Here, on film for the first time is that story. Watch it. Live it and perhaps find something within that you should express to the rest of humanity. Live. Be.
