A seriously riveting and relatable tale of obsession descending into extreme isolation and misanthropy. Aronofsky already displays a remarkable talent for versatile psychological exploration in film, and the entire cast delivers unique performances that flicker with gorgeous complexity
To temper my enthusiasm a bit, the whole mathematical narrative feels somewhat immature and underdeveloped; certainly functioning as the ideogram of a debut film. But considering the vast sphere of directors who continue to indulge in first-year-of-art-school flaws well into their careers, I’d say Aronofsky quickly evolved beyond his baby steps
Very solid
