Worst spent 2 hours in my life

Rating: 1/10 (18 March 2011)

OK, so everyone was telling me about how good this movie was. I found it kind of curious that it won the Oscar just for the Best Actress section, as they had told me that it was way better than the King's Speech, which I found glorious, but I found the time to watch it anyway. The disappointment! I truly think that if this movie hadn't starred Natalie Portman, it would have remained anonymous or, anyway, nobody would have talked about it this much! OK, so she is good as what she does and the sexual themes really contribute at this film's success, but what is there to see beyond this? Basically nothing. It's a ballerina's drama, which we don't understand if it comes from her past or because she is given the lead role (!!!), so basically it's about a lesbian psycho unable to come out. It's not about the dancing, it's not about art, it's just a trashy way of saying that there are disordered people out there. I think the movie could have been a lot better if it was less violent and less predictable. I knew how it was going to end like from half-way through it. Sorry, I can't agree this is a good film. I regret having watched it and I hope people will read this and change their minds about going to see it. It's just not worth your time!
