One Weird Movie

Rating: 8/10 (14 April 2018)

Before I start, I want to point out that the first item in the "Trivia" section under "Spoilers" is incorrect. Whoever wrote that put the description in quotes, as if Aronofsky himself said that verbatim. He did not. That was Anne Thomson's, (who wrote the article about the movie in IndieWire) synopsis of the movie based on her interviews with Aronofsky. Even that it misquoted.
As for the movie itself, I can see why the big name actors took the roles. It is a challenging movie for the actors. I can also see why it didn't do well with audiences or critics. It's not an entertaining movie, in the traditional sense, the kind most people go to see. But boy, it does stick with you after you see it.
Personally, I liked it. But most people either like Aronofsky's work or don't.
My brief description of the movie would be to call it "Rosemary's Baby" on LSD.
