All involved excelled, one of the greatest thrillers ever.

Rating: 8/10 (20 December 2010)

Darren Aronofsky is so good at filming anxiety, most of his movies leave me feeling that way and personally, since I usually feel like I got robbed at the Movie theater, I feel like I got more then my money's worth if a 'movie' can make me feel anything other then a violation.
This movie is one of the best around in its genre, it may be a little uncomfortable for those who may have found Basic Instinct to be too much, there is little or no nudity but this movie has sexuality intertwined, I don't want to give anything away so I'll leave it at that.
This movie was wonderfully stylized and made the difficult topic of ballerinas amazingly interesting with what they go through, the physical torture they receive on their bodies, etc.
If you like Darren Aronofsky's films then you should without a doubt see this, among all of his films I would have to say this may be his best although personally "The Fountain" is my favorite movie of all time. See this movie.
