Reminiscent of Rosemary's Baby Except No Has Any Names

Rating: 3/10 (15 September 2017)

The depraved religious impulse that animates this film is disturbing on two levels. First, as a testimony to the human mind's dark confusion that spins out an endless parade of demented frenzies of sacrifice and worship, and second, that the writer/director holds hostage any entertainment value until you are willing to accept his demented cosmology. But, I did love the feel given by Aronofsky's medium of 16mm film. Also, following Jennifer Lawrence's every move for practically two hours from six inches away was worth the torment.
