My Take

Darren Aronofsky exhausts me, and I mean that as high praise. From Requiem for a Dream to Black Swan to The Whale, he keeps making films about obsession that are themselves acts of obsession, pushing actors and audiences to the edge of endurance. What fascinates me is the contradiction: a Harvard-educated Brooklyn intellectual whose films bypass the brain entirely and hit the gut. He extends genuine compassion to broken people even while filming their collapse without mercy, and that tension is his signature. Not every swing connects, and Mother! still divides me, but I would rather watch his ambitious failures than most directors' safe successes.
