Review of The Fountain (2006) by Whit W — 12 Feb 2012
A pretty mess. Totally beautiful but practically incomprehensible. I watched it hoping it would stop jumping around between the three Hugh Jackman fronted stories, but it didn't. It tried to be deep and meaningful about life after death or reincarnation or something...but it wasn't.
The love affair of Jackman and Rachel Weisz was super syrupy and for being so in love, they spent a lot of time living self-centered lives. Pretentious is the best thing to call this.
