Negative Positive
Title: Rorschach Test
Review: I'm glad that Pollock gave the world his art. I'm glad that the world has the wonderful Ed Harris to tell us stories in film. But, without any real insight into what made Pollock's artistic soul tick, what we are left with in this film is mostly a bleak, depressing and somewhat disjointed portrait of an abusive alcholic who doesn't fit in socially with the self-appointed arbiters of "what is art" -- or anyone else, for that matter. In spite of this, he achieves success - solely due to the efforts and belief of his wife. The inevitable trajectory of self destruction continues when suddenly, out of nowhere, the gorgeous Jennifer Connelly pops in and is madly in love with him! This final insult sends wife packing. Jennifer spends the rest of the film looking ravashing and cheerfully accomodating Pollock's boorish behavior as he descends into total degeneracy and ultimate destruction. Huh???
Is the review positive or negative?
