Indiewire

     Paramount Pictures has been in a bit of a slump lately. Outside of Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation and Transformers: The Last Knight (debatable), their big budget films have not done all that well at the box office (with Ben-Hur being a staggering failure), and their Oscar bait just hasn’t latched on the way they probably wanted. Though I thought their last Oscar time movie, Silence, was an excellent film, I can see why they might want to up the ante a bit with their next entry. And so they turned to Darren Aronofsky, the man behind Requiem for a Dream, The Wrestler, and Black Swan. And the only thing I have to say is… Wow. Let’s just go ahead and dissect this thing.
