Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Blucher One of the worst movies I've ever seen

Lucybespro It is a performances centric movie

Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined

arjunflamingfeather Black is the color that we run from because white is light; even under the microscope humans attract to light. The graceful dancer in us or in the movie is the actress 'Natalie Portman' who has the dark side to her. The Black Swan is a novel; then screenplay and movie from that existing material which became a feature film in Hollywood. The Hollywood cast worked together with zeal to bring the cinema to it's show; tickets and television release dates announced and noted by viewers tuned in to the latter.

adonis98-743-186503 A committed dancer wins the lead role in a production of Tchaikovsky's "Swan Lake" only to find herself struggling to maintain her sanity. Darren Aronofsky's Black Swan proves that pretty much any kind of movie can get good reviews by critics and being represented as a masterpiece by both them and even viewers. However tho this movie was not any sort of interesting flick plus neither of the perfomances were that great as well especially from Natalie Portman and Vincent Cassel and especially Kunis. See it only if you like Aronofsky's work. (0/10)

thegornie I will admit up front that I am no fan of ballet and failed to appreciate the pains that Natalie Portman endured to become a convincing dancer for this role. But it didn't matter. She absolutely earned her best actress award through conveying three metaphors behind the wrapper of a ballerina's quest for perfection:1. Perfection requires balance. You cannot appreciate the beauty in light without darkness. There is no sunrise without sunset, no day without night, no good without evil. Nina's struggle to understand this was the focus of her conflict with Thomas.2. Personal growth happens when you expand beyond your comfort zone. Nina had mastered the white swan because the role was so consistent with her daily life; continuing to practice it was a waste of time. Only when Lily inspires her to pursue the black swan does she unlock the path to perfection.3. Once you've stretched outside your comfort zone you can never go back. Personal growth changes you forever. Nina, in her quest for perfection, loses her innocence forever.Yes, perhaps the story could remain powerful without the gratuitous gore that hurled a dark drama into the horror genre. But this film is worth watching just to see Natalie Portman shatter all the boundaries of her acting career up to that point. A powerful performance, particularly memorable in the final scenes in which she successfully transforms into the black swan.

Pjtaylor-96-138044 The most compelling moments in 'Black Swan (2010)' come when the sanity of the central character is called into question, with several sequences featuring stunningly surreal imagery and bizarre body horror that means that the validity of almost anything onscreen can be questioned. Rather than becoming frustrating, this instead becomes a gripping look into the damaged psyche of the perfectionist protagonist. The story is compellingly told with a confident cinematic verve. 8/10
