Natalie Portmans Israeli directorial debut really intrigued me from the first trailer. And while it certainly is not without vision, beautiful cinematography, symbolism and poetic storytelling, its story about a son dealing with his mothers depression feels unimaginative and at times an outright bore.
That being said, Portman really shows that she knows she is doing behind camera, beautifully molding a picture. Next time i hope she decides to tell a different story with just as much passion and drive.
