A wild and imaginative ride throughout the ages for the thinking a nd feeling film-goer.

Rating: 8/10 (27 November 2006)

Darren Aronofsky will no doubt be regarded as one of the most creative, insightful and dedicated to his art directors of our generation. He has created a moving lyrical poetic film about life after death and one only hopes his growing thinking audience will embrace the film as his best yet.
True love comes through as soul mates throughout time and the images, which sometimes are disturbing are enlightening as well as to the nature of soul mates. Fantastic sensitive performances by the leads, Hugh Jackman and Rachel Weiss as well as notable roles for Ellen Burstyn as Hugh's boss and Mark Margolis as Father Avila. We need to see these two professionals in more films. The younger stars are wonderful compliments to the brooding and intense Jackman and balance him well.
Overall the picture came from darkness and death and moved to the light. I would like to see Darren Aronofsky lighten up his pallet in the future and cater to a broader audience. Thw world awaits you sir.
