Awful Mess

Rating: 1/10 (10 August 2014)

I hated every single minute of this torturous endless take on ballet, gossips, hate, split personality, scheming,sexual innuendos,dull music, vague plot, predictable twists, extremely bad choice of color scheme and very silly ending. Well, that seems to be a sum of all evil in that Aronofsky's horrible movie, that is very slow, pathetic, never engaging, never thrilling and never convincing. It does not persuade to go and watch ballet, or try to perceive Swan Lake better. Nay, in fact, thyme filmmakers killed any hint of interest to this. This boggy plodding mess is not a decent take on mental disease, either. It does not provide any deep picture or awake any sympathy to any of the heroes. In fact, it is so cold, detached, distanced and bleak that all the possible attempt to like ballet will die immediately. Waste of time, and all the parts are very weak too - neither Portman, nor Kassel, Ryder, Kunis or else did anything to get us involved. It is so vapid and dry that next idea would be to get and watch some light-weight comedy or something
