very well done

Rating: 8/10 (16 December 2013)

This is a small movie with big stars. I can see why the actors came onto the movie as the writing is very good.
Natalie Portman plays the lead character. She does it very well. As her suspicions and anxiety grows, so does ours.
These insecurities grow larger and larger as the pressure on her to succeed begins to rise.
My favorite moment is when she goes into a washroom stall to phone her mom, beside herself that she succeeded. Many things go wrong after this, but this moment alone, is beautiful.
The ending may be too oblique for some, but I enjoyed it.
