    An incredibly beautiful and intense portal of the obsessive artist sacrificing it all to perfect her passion.At the intersection of Schizophrenia and Ballet, this film offers a stunning glimpse of a woman's world. First Darren Aroronfsky movie, he is such a talented director, from the pallette of the movie to the unguessable turn of events, to the depiction of mental illness that makes us question reality. 10/10 writing & execution.

    4 stars because fantastically written dialogue on power themes , excellent character style, background music that really adds to the sensory experience, and a lot of stunning shots but the film itself is itchingly long. This would make for a fantastic TV series tho broken into smaller plots and continued. If I was looking for the next big Netflix show hit I would run with this.

    Benoît Magimel 9.5/10 acting, loved his character and personification of a power-dynamic and suave…

    My favorite of Wes's filmography.
    Every scene is a work of art. Best soundtrack too.
    Favorite was the first part of the tortured artist, beautifully brought to life be Benicio Del Toro and the soundtracks specifically composed by Alexandre Desplat and other French classics.
    Overall, my favorite movie for the 2021 year and maybe ever.

    One of the most profound of Chapelle's sets.
    Beautifully balances the serious points he has to make while also delivering the classic unmatched Chapelle humor.

    The best example of the power of stand-up comedy and the importance of truth-tellers in society. A modern day master of the English language and story telling.
