Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Darren Aronofsky clearly didn't set out to make a usual movie...[The Fountain's] a story of overreaching that itself overreaches, but that might have been impossible to avoid.

Mr. Aronofsky's outlook on life remains too constantly pessimistic for my taste, and too completely joyless as well.

rotten:
The Fountain is the story of a gifted artist who dared to reach for the stars and paid for his ambition with a really stupid movie.

Lurches on a thin line between hyper-ornate space oddity and extended perfume advert.

I will concede the film is not a great success. Too many screens of blinding lights. Too many transitions for their own sake. Abrupt changes of tone.
