Didn't rock my world

Rating: 6/10 (22 February 2011)

I cannot even try to add to the plethora of posts critiquing this film. I can simply say the things which would have made this film great in my opinion.
I've seen a couple of people mention Mulholland drive and David Lynch. I only wish the director could have gone down this route a little more. There is a scene where she is training alone and the lights go off. She walks on stage into a shot which could have been taken directly from Mulholland drive, later she she goes backstage where two people are getting it on (imagined or not, I don't know). This scene worked very well. The director does not have the ability to pace and film a scene like Lynch, who can make a tension absoulute.
It does become a sort of cliché fest. Inevitably we have to follow and follow. No surprises with the conclusion of the film, I think most of us knew she was suffering from multiple personalities. Perhaps the director could think outside of the box, that he has already thought outside of.
All in all a pleasant unpleasant experience, but it did not rock my world or my foundations.
