Review: By Chance or Providence

By Patrick Wolf

Years ago I saw Darren Aronofsky’s Black Swan, and I remember feeling completely blown away. The film was so dark, anxious, melancholy, and astounding that I left the theater with a sense of wonder and dread that I haven’t experienced in a long time. While By Chance or Providence is not quite as intense as Black Swan, it has the same sense of wondrous terror that made Aronofsky’s film so amazing. If you’re into dark, brooding stories with a twist, this collection was made for you.
