Bizarre. Creepy and not in a good way.

Rating: 1/10 (6 January 2011)

Icky. Left me feeling icky after watching it. Why does Hollywood love these kind of movies? All the perverse junk - that's why. No more for me. Gross disgusting icky icky icky. Did I say icky? Simple plot. Girl lacking confidence wants ballet role and gets role and gets stressed out as we follow her demise into crazy land.
Imagines stuff and I mean weird should be rated "X" stuff! Black and white contrasts - obvious. Annoying mother. Manipulative friend. Overbearing boss. All the usual suspects. Will agree that Ms. Portman can act - but what a waste in this bizarre story line. I certainly did not understand the end - will not post spoiler here. Was amazed at how thin she was and how well she could dance - if she really did all that dance work herself? That was impressive if she did.
