Can't say it's a movie I'd buy or anything like that but it was really good. It was quite intense... I mean, I knew all the crazy stuff was in her mind but it was still intense... It did a good job of getting you into someone's mind who's falling apart mentally and desperately needs medical help. The whole movie reminded me of that scene from Batman Returns where Selina goes from meek and weak, to freaking out and smashing all her stuff after she just snaps. But here we get to see her mentally deteriorate. You understand how much pressure she puts herself under and then all the crazy stuff that she imagines gives the audience a little taste of how messed up she is and how she's just totally cracking up inside. And I loved the symbolism in the film too... the whole ending I thought was great.
I know a lot of people have had a hard time understanding what's going on but I find that if you watch the movie already knowing that Nina is cracking up in her mind and some things are imagined and you look for those clues early on, it becomes quite easy to differentiate between what's real and what's in her head. I don't know a lot of people said they had a hard time telling the difference but I didn't think it was all that cryptic. Sure while I was watching it, I didn't know right then there but you figure it out.
Anyway, yes, I really liked it. Not something I'd buy or anything and there was quite a bit of inappropriate content but it is a beautifully done movie IMO. It was also the first time I thought the trailer actually did a good job giving you a taste of what the movie is like without spoiling anything.
