This documentary transcends the typical making-of featurette, becoming a study in obsession that mirrors the film's own themes. It strips away the glamour of filmmaking, exposing the raw physicality and collective mania required to bring a dark vision to life.
What lingers after the credits is the profound understanding of cost—the personal toll on Portman and the meticulous control of Aronofsky. It's a fascinating, sometimes uncomfortable look at the price of perfection. — MovieFinder Editorial
