A tough time

Rating: 6/10 (22 September 2017)

First of all, i am a big fan of mystery movies and i enjoy Aronofsky past work.
I personally liked this one. It blew my mind as i think it did to almost everyone. That's why so many people hated it, but to be pretentious was the point... and that's OK.
It was very difficult to decipher the message, only to be revealed by the author.
Knowing this, i believe that the movie tried a bit too much. In the second part of the film, there were a lot of violent, nonsense and overwhelming situations. This was a bit too much. I left the theater tired.
Knowing now the message, i think this could have been done in a more interesting and subtle way. It was too ambitious.
Pity, because the idea is very good and original! The movie is also emphasized by a very good performance from Jennifer Lawrence
I recommend it to every open minded spirit!
