A ballerina's dedication to perfection pushes her towards madness as she embraces the darker aspects of her persona. This is a very theatrical and well constructed film. What is set up as a narrowly focused character drama becomes a fun house ride into psychosis with the viewer often left to wonder what is real and what is not (some scenes are easier than others). Perhaps that's the point. While this isn't a slasher flick with gallons of gore, there are some butt puckering scenes that will give you the willies. If you are a fan of psychedelic Hitchcock style stories, you may find this right up your alley. A chick flick directed at all those little girls who used to burn their Barbi's and play with just the heads. Sorbet with fish eyes.
