The story is blatantly dystopian, in structure, from word one. Aldous Huxley would probably have approved of this film, though it nods to Orwell more than Huxley in story line. Hunter seems not to have forgiven Portman for her association with Star Wars and Closer. This calls his integrity and objectivity as a reviewer into quesiton.
Given the story and the role, Portman did well, as did Weaving.Â

Actors don't make the movie; the directors do, and I have no good faith in the Wachowski brothers.

Newsweek Q&A with Hugo Weaving' Wrote:Your costar, Natalie Portman, had a shaved head. I would have felt like rubbing it.
I was always doing that. It's a very pleasurable feeling. I don't know how pleasureable it was for her. She slapped my hand away a couple of times.
