... and it kinda sucks? Dgmw there are things I liked about it (Ellen Burstyn and Jennifer Connelly give great performances) , but between the gimmicky edits and the palpable lack of insight into drug use/abuse/addiction, it just comes across as a less entertaining Reefer Madness. Imho.

cool score. obnoxious movie, though I have a soft spot for aronofsky just for how all-in his movies are even when they're not exactly....good. (new "goofy" one w austin butler looks horrible though)

Yeah the score was fantastic. I liked Black Swan too. I'm normally all in favour of indulgent, artsy cinema — but this one just didn't do it for me

How do you feel about The Fountain? It's one of Aronofsky's most reviled, but I've always loved it for it's indulgent artsiness.

I haven't seen it. I think the only other film of his I've seen is Noah, which was a bit rubbish imo (but I wasn't expecting any better from that one)

EDIT: I just checked and I also saw Pi years and years ago, and thought it was a load of old shit lol. I guess I'm just not an Aronofsky head
