LOVEFiLM Review
-
By Tom Charity from LOVEFiLMNatalie Portman may be tipped for Oscar success but this sexually charged psychological thriller won't be everyone's cup of tea.

A series of holes tied together with string.
By a customer from Edinburgh , 28 Jan 2011[Highly rated reviewer]
The pedal is pressed to the metal, but it doesn't know where it is going. This is full on, especially in the last half hour. But I found myself sitting there thinking about it as I was watching, rather than being engrossed and swept along. There is plenty to think about; sexual maturing, art, the price of perfection, self discovery. But the film has a scattergun approach and it doesn't do any of them justice. Maybe it is meant to simplistic in the way that a fairy tale is. Certainly at times the symbolism is leaden and crass.
I also find the concept of self-abasement to achieve a goal repellent, though this is not another 'Breaking the Waves'.
They say a net is 'a series of holes tied together with string.' The narrative is just like that. Ignorant Bystander.- Was this review helpful to you?

Ballet in 1D
By 663322 (37 reviews) , 15 May 2013Just goes to show what a dedicated ballerina will do to make it big. Its a shame the characters were rather one dimensional rather than being single minded.- Was this review helpful to you?

Dirty Duck
By a customer , 11 May 2013So dreadful it is hard to know where to start. The story is predictable and tries to hard to confuse. Ms Portman is as wooden as usual and you find you really can not give a damn about her. Any intended 'sensuality' is hilarious. Really don't waste your time watching this drivel.- Was this review helpful to you?
