Unfortunately, I was not impressed by this film. I thought this was Aronofsky's film and was definitely sure that this creation would be dramatic, heartbreaking and make me ask questions about life. But how wrong I was. After an hour of watching it in full, I already started to rewind a little, it was boring. The picture format is square, for square TVs that are older than my grandmother, it's not clear why I chose this format. The filming and atmosphere of the film was more reminiscent of an amateur film than a professional one. I was not pierced by any of the characters in the film, I was not able to empathize with anyone, although it is important for the screenwriter to make this moment (the most interesting thing is that I only empathized with the actor Brandon Fraser himself, I can imagine how hard it was for him to wear everything and eat like not everyone). Charlie, the main character, didn't grab me at all, I treated him neutrally, as if he simply existed, I'm silent about the other characters, most of them infuriated me. As for me, some of the dialogues were written terribly, and those that were interesting, by the middle of the conversation it was simply boring to listen to them. As a result, such a low rating and dislike for Aronofsky for this work.
