Caught Stealing Review: Master Of Bleakness Darren Aronofsky Takes A Welcomed Swing At Having Some Fun

Darren Aronofsky Austin Butler Hank Thompson Charlie Huston Liev Schreiber Matt Smith Vincent DOnofrio
Zoe Kravitz and Austin Butler in Caught Stealing.

My relationship with the works of Darren Aronofsky is much different than the relationships I have with all of my other favorite modern directors. I celebrate those latter filmmakers by buying all of their movies in various physical media formats and making a habit of rewatching them, but I’ve never been able to do that with Aronofsky. I’ve been fascinated by his talents ever since I saw Pi when I was in high school, and I’ve been wowed by his entire filmography… but it’s rare that I can bear more than one viewing. I know I will never own a copy of Requiem For A Dream because there is a zero percent chance of me ever watching it again.
