In what I believe to be one of the most intense movies I’ve seen in a long time, Black Swan delivers a stage performance unlike anything I’ve ever experienced before. I found that Darren Aronofsky’s new thriller surrounding the ballet Swan Lake was both surprisingly rewarding and extremely fascinating.
Natalie Portman’s, soon to be Oscar nominee, performance was outstanding as she played Nina whose life was dominated by an obsession with perfection and a paranoid theory that someone’s out to steal her role. With Mila Kunis, Vincent Cassel, and Barbara Hershey in supporting roles, Black Swan is nothing short of a visual spectacle with highly gripping performances to support a film 10 years in the making. Hit the jump to check out my review.
