That's what I call a workaholic woman

Rating: 8/10 (24 June 2011)

Watching a movie after a thousand of positive reviews is something a little pointless, since your single opinion won't change the hype the film has. Fortunately, it wasn't the case; "Black Swan" is definitely a good movie that deserves to be seen and congratulated.
This movie works as a psychological thriller, which looks just like a nightmare. Natalie Portman plays an apparently innocent and unprotected girl who's afraid of everybody but improves after a while. There are lots of things involved in her disturbed life: fear, perfectionism, naivety, neurosis and even drugs come to her life. By the way, the disco scene was veeery well made, I felt myself in the party with them! Unfortunetaly, it has some predictable things, like when Nina tells the story to "Jerry" and she says that the girl kills herself in the end; I instantly realizes she was going to do the same in the end.
"Black Swan" may not deserve an Oscar for the best 2010 film, but is surely worth a watch!
