A work of art

Rating: 10/10 (25 February 2018)

If you want to enjoy a wonderful religious allegory and a conceptual deconstruction of God and the whole religious apparatus give this movie a try. It is a masterpiece, a work of art to say the least. Its plethora of symbols, vivid imagery and powerful references taclking some of the most fundamental uncertainties of the modern man truly gives one an ambudance of goosebumps.
Nevertheless, it is worth noting that this movie is not for everyone. You are either going to love it for its remarkable artistic value or despise it for its confusion, lack of cohesion and traditional movie narrative.
I do believe that this movie breakes the boundaries between artistic genres and reshapes the picture of what we have in our head when someone says "a movie". Much like with paintings and good books, you won't always have the clear pointers toward what the author meant, and most of the time it is up to you to make your own conclusion. That is what this movie is all about and for that reason I have to congratulate Mr. Aronofsky for pushing the limits and defying tradition in the world of cinematography.
To conclude with, even if this type of movie is not your cup of tea, you are surely going to enjoy Jennifer Lawrence's extraordinary acting skills, the only thing both sides of audience are (probably) going to agree on.
