Is there a role this young woman CAN'T play to perfection b/c I haven't seen it! In this challenging role, she's sexy, confused, neurotic, obsessed, and the sweet, dutiful daughter all wrapped up in one. She gets the oscar for this performance - no doubt. If you love or even just like her, go see this movie. Guys, don't be afraid of the ballerina aspects - you'll have plenty of eyecandy to enjoy!
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Too many bad liberties from book

If you didnt read the book, this movie gets only 2 stars for mild entertainment, story, and acting/directing even though the sever arm scene was riveting. If you DID read the book, this adaptation gets one measely star as Director Boyle (whose work I loved in Slumdog and Trainspotting) takes stupid liberties with the story trying to add sex to an exclusively adventure-gone-awry novel. Would've been better off developing the main character with his previous adventures and upbringing than to imply he'd be thinking about masterbating while on the cusp of death. Pathetic!
No, I do not recommend this movie.
