Rating: Null/10 (29 May 2001)

**** NO REAL SPOILER HERE ****

Well, where can I begin! Most of what I want to say- has already been said already..but I must reaffirm many of those points. I am tempted to call any of those self-assured 'critics' who had the unmitigated audacity to pan this movie idiots, morons, dopes, smug, self-conceited fools who feel themselves superior to the vast masses...but I won't (call the 'critics' who had the AUDACITY to pan this movie the dopes that I feel we all know they are)..I don't want the IMDB review board to remove my Post. Now, that being said- let me say that this is ONE of the best movies I've ever seen featuring probably the greatest (at least one of) screen performances ever recorded on film (by ELLEN BURSTYN). Jennifer Connelly is incredible..incredibly sexy, gorgeous and believable in her supporting role. Jared Leto and Marlon Wayans take their careers to the Next Level. Darren Aronofsky along with his D.P. and D.E. have made a true modern-day masterpiece that literally THUNDERS from opening credits to heart shattering climax. (No denouement). Now I'm not gonna name drop alot of other film maker names like some reviewers do on IMDB to prove how knowledgeable I am or why my review should be take more seriously because I am so 'well-informed'. I will simply say the truth- This movie disturbed, moved and shook me...and it will You as well!!!

Oh Yeah...Ellen Burstyn got ROBBED at the Oscars..plain and simple!!
