IMDB

A knife thrower meets a young woman on a bridge who is about to commit suicide.  He proposes that she be his target, which she at first declines, but soon accepts.  They find that they have an impressive chemistry and intense luck while together, but apart they are miserable.
A beautiful movie.  I was blown away by this film.  It is slick, sure, but it is so well made.  The montage of the female lead getting stage ready is one of the best uses of the device I have seen.  This is quickly one of my favorites.


10/10

Rating Scale Explanation

The rating scale is simple. 1 is the worst 10 is the best and 5 is mediocre. 5.5 or greater is a movie that I at least find enjoyable. You could also think of 5 as a zero and 1 as a negative 5. I feel like that sounds even more convoluted.
