Boring screenwriter + cheesy choreography = why the mainstream aesthetic is getting worse and worse?

Two months ago at the Toronto Film Festival, I almost had the interest to line up for a day to watch it, but fortunately I didn't.
Some sections in the play are still worth seeing, such as rehearsal, stage, seduce, and lesbian fantasies, but they are simply meaningless when they are grouped together.
First of all, the role setting is too boring. The heroine is ridiculously naive. She doesn't seem to understand anything except ballet. If there is such a protagonist, if she doesn't change, I can't stand it. Although metamorphosis is the highlight, the changes are seen between fantasy and reality. Except for the first second fantasy, which is a bit deceptive, the latter is completely modularized. Anyway, it is such a silly and innocent girl face. Personality is split due to stress. Most of the shots at the beginning have been very subjective. The weird music appeared too early and too often, as if we were shouting loudly. This film is very weird, weird and weird, a thriller film. It was so predictable from the beginning, and not so respectful of the audience's IQ.
Then the dance design is really very literal. When the white swan is densely packed with pink hearts and fluffy rabbits, when the black swan grows wings on the back, the toes become fins, and some interesting plots can be used literally. When the symbol of "is translated, I can only think of the word tacky.
Such a mediocre movie is so popular and more interesting than the movie itself.

    Beth Macintyre: What did you do to get this role? He always said you were such a frigid little girl. What did you do to change his mind? Did you suck his cock?
