The John Schwartz School of Film Review

[snurri]

My dad's reaction to movies is usually pretty noncommittal. In part this is because Mom often picks the movies they see, in part because he just isn't that big into them; it's something to do now that he's retired and has evenings to fill. (Possibly another part of it is that he occasionally dozes through parts of what he sees.) So while we don't always agree, we rarely strongly disagree. There is one review from him, though, that pretty much guarantees that I will love a film. That's when he and Mom see a movie and Dad later reports:

"That was the worst fucking movie I've ever seen."

So far he's said this about "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind," "Pan's Labyrinth," and now "Black Swan." I guess I have to see that last, now.

I am not sure I'm going to love it, either; I like Aronofsky as a stylist, but he's not so good with the subtlety. (Which is pretty much what you just said.) BUT DAD HAS NEVER BEEN WRONG BEFORE!
