Who's mad/bad?
21 July 2022
No pun intended - and no connection to the Michael Jackson song you may have made (though I reckon I kind of made that on purpose). That aside, the movie is about mental illness - or rather what some perceive as such. We have gone from Witch trials to declaring women who are different insane. When I say we, I mean the folks in the movie right here.

Dancers - not just in your dreams. And maybe not really giving you much of a notion what the movie is about. Which I reckon is a good thing for a title. At least in my book (no pun intended). The performances are quite something to behold. And the story is far out - almost literally, even if in close(d) space(s). Again with the puns I know.

Whatever your believes are and whatever you may think of the main character ... it is tough to go on the journey with her. And how do people react when they are proven wrong? We get both sides of that here too ... which side will win in the end? Or rather can it be called a real winner after all, whoever it is? That's for you to decide ... this is not Shutter Island and probably should not really be compared with that. It is a movie in its own right and does a really good job too.
