I went to see this film because it was shot at SUNY PURCHASE (my BFA art school and also where i shot Nice People). Honestly, there is a lot of hype about this movie. The trailer is great, but the film is so so. What DOES stand out in this movie, and is worth every single penny and popcorn kernel is WINONA RYDER. She IS amazing in this film. Small bit part, but she IS remarkable. I don't know how i feel about her throwing herself in front of the car and getting her body completely destroyed, but visually seeing her reaction to the failed attempt to scream FU$^& YOU at the dance culture that she had submerged her life into, and the full contempt for the "ballet" as an art of Politics, and then her bolted-back-up-hospital-EMERGENCY-ROOM body, i left praying that someone will cast her again! After Jolie destroyed her career with Girl Interrupted, the time has come for her to come back from the dead (and her reported kleptomania problems). Now, after throwing herself in front of a vehicle, WINONA LIVES AGAIN !!!!!
