huh - what was it

Rating: 3/10 (28 September 2011)

I have found this movie pointless. I have to give it 3 of 10 just because of acting of Portman and Cassel and some visual aspects. But as a whole it's really just another - in fact really boring - sport movie. This is all the same regardless of kind of sport (boxing, skiing, dancing etc.) - the main figure is struggling her/his own fight of being better. That's it. No more - no less. But in this case it's extremely quasi-intellectual and at the same time sensual and the result is pointless mixture of feelings and no sense of telling this story at all. P.S. I intently do not compare this film with others of Aronofski's creations.
