Not entertaining, enlightening, or eye opening in the least.. boring? yes.

Rating: 2/10 (25 May 2007)

Aronofsky is a brilliant director but this was by no means a brilliant film. Call it a failed experiment at best but the entire film was muddled and strewn together like a series of incomplete sentences. The acting was good, the cinematography was great, but the film didn't have enough of a story to stand on its own two legs. I didn't care for it, but I may watch it again to see if I draw anything from a second viewing. I've seen plenty of intelligent art house flicks that did make me think and that I still love to this day but this is definitely not one of them. Hopefully Aronofsky's future stabs into the world of cinema are more entertaining, enlightening, and coherent. Go watch Pi or Requiem for a Dream if you want to see a good Aronofsky flick.
