Darren Aronofsky's Black Swan is a complex slow burn I found to be utterly engaging. Natalie Portman gives her most commited and powerful performance as Nina, the Swan Queen.

Matthew Libatique's cinematography draws you to Nina with his hand held and tight close ups and shows both the majesty of the stage and the loneliness in the quest for perfection with his wide masters.

Nina's erratic descent and final recognition reminded me of something I was once told; once you know you are mad, it's really quite liberating.

Totally ballerina!

Black Swan was fucking perfect. Oh my god. That was so intense, so incredible, so flawlessly executed. My heart, man. So many chills. Ahhhhhhhhh. This had me squirming more than any other movie ever has. Absolutely incredible directing, cinematography and acting. Natalie Portman. I don't really have much more to say other than I love it to bits and if you haven't seen it already, you really really should because goddamn that was unbelievable. This is definitely now one of my top five favourite movies of all time.

Climate, poetry, anxiety causes shivers, chills running on the back, pretty psychedelic and Natalie like a dream.

Wow... just wow. What an absolute masterpiece. The tension, the visuals, the drama, the anxiety, the music... my god, the music. This film is beautiful, and the final act with the on-stage performance was faultless - I was on the edge of my seat the entire time.

"I was perfect." - Yes, you fucking were, Nina.

"I was perfect"

Natalie Portman is phenomenal. Her slow descent into madness is horrifying. Mila Kunis is great too. I really loved the cinematography. The way the camera moves during the dances is great. The amount of mirrors is this movie is absurd. It must of been tricky to never have the camera be seen. The color palate is used really well to show Nina's state of mind. The score is fantastic too. Overall is definitely an amazing physiological horror and one of Aronofsky's best.

This is quite an interesting film. I don't remember if I knew what to expect the first time I saw it, but it is still pretty surprising when you notice minor details you might have missed the first time. The two main actresses are both awesome. I love seeing characters slowly evolve over the span of the film, especially when it is this crazy. Honestly I did not know the whole time if the stuff was real or fake or what the final statement would be. The final scene is flat out awesome though.

Oh, and pretty damn good score. Has this Tchaikovsky guy done anything else?

I did not enjoy the first half of the movie as it was very slow for my taste but about 40min in I was hooked even though I didn't know whats going on, this is definitely not for everyone but I urge you to keep watching even if the first half hour bores you as you will understand it was necessary for the build up to the end. With this Portman is probably my favorite female actress of this generation & I doubt anyone else could portray the character the same way she did, over all this is a great movie and well worth the watch.

Overrated. Not a bad movie but doesn't deserve such a high praise. Amazing acting by Natalie Portman.

Didn't get drawn into the main character's turmoil. The atmosphere didn't feel intense. The sexual innocence and repressed stuff was cheesy teen stuff and just silly, including the jump scares and flashbacks. The whole story just bored me. The characters seemed to serve one dimensional purposes (controlling mom, old dancer, party dancer, stony-faced teacher) which can be fine and they do serve a purpose, but this is supposed to be a deep drama and with the rating I expect the storytelling to rely more on cliches?

This movie let me down. Natalie Portman's performance was absolutely fantastic, but I felt unusually disconnected from her character. The lack of personality was effective and realistic to a point, but as the story continued, I really just felt like I was watching a movie about a malfunctioning robot. Barbara Hershey was particularly amazing in her role and her scenes were my favorite. The final scene is also beautiful to watch. And just expertly crafted. I also liked how the music matches (and sometimes creates) the drama throughout the film, but overall, I am just not a fan. I'm glad that others have found something to love though!
