A Beautiful Work of Art

Rating: 10/10 (5 April 2011)

Overall, I found this movie to be incomparable. I was very upset that I wasn't able to see this film in theaters due to the exceptional reviews it got, but since I got the chance to see it at my home, I was surprisingly pleased by level of depth this movie was able to reach.
To me it was excellent on all levels. It had wonderful music, the screenplay was excellent, it was very dramatic and suspenseful at some points, and you were really able to get in touch with the characters. The performances were superb by each actor and they all filled the screen with such passion and emotion that you could really start to feel for them.
Aronofsky did a first-class job with this film and really got the audience to react. The only thing that really bothered me was the level of sexuality in this film. Sure some of it was necessary to thicken the plot, but i do feel they overdid some of it. Other than that, I thought that this film was truly magnificent in a disturbing yet beautiful way.
