Painful
This is a movie that I really loved watching the first time, but I find it really hard to return to. Seems to be something Aronofsky is really good at. Making movies that are visually powerful, well written, intriguing... and excrutiating. He pushes you so far to the edge in Requiem that it makes it really hard to get through. Each character is developed just enough that you start to like them. Then the downward spiral starts to suck them down. The farther it goes the more you realize that it isn't going to end well for anyone. Beautiful and awful. Great for one watch if you can stomach it.
