Just saw it. I gave it an 8. Wife gave it a 10.

As strange and wonderful as Conception, but in an entirely different way.
More later,
Tour...

    Just got back from the theater. I thought it was darn good, Portman was fantastic, best role I've seen her in thus far. I haven't seen Aronofsky's Pi or Requiem for a Dream but now I definitely want to.

    Prolly should have fleshed out my review a tad...

    I thought it started slowly as well. Checked the watch at ~45 min into it and was like, "C'mon...". Then the next thing I knew the credits were rolling. No, I did not fall asleep... the movie just took off.

    CosAm,
    Agree... Portman was very good, but I am becoming a big Mila Kunis fan. She's fast becoming the new femme fatale of the 2000's. Good to see her rebound from Book of Eli. If there is a God in heaven, she will never appear opposite Aston Kucher...

    Was good to see Barbara Hershey again as well.
    More later,
    Tour...

    Kunis was much better than I expected, her best role yet as well IMO
