It isn’t a good movie, but it really had potential, and I have to say that the montage is the best part — although it’s not so much “best” as “most interesting,” and it gets …
Too tricksy, too in love with itself, and wow, do people not talk to each other like they do in the last half hour. I liked Portman a lot despite how aggressively quirky the character …
