So the princess from Nabu explores her darkside...

Rating: 8/10 (23 March 2017)

I have to read other reviews because I have questions about what I saw vs. what I THINK I saw. Some imagery was meant to be Nina's subconscious concocting demons of it's own, I am not sure which of them were 'real' vs. her imagineering. I dug the film and it's uniqueness. It gives you a look into a very exclusive "club" of NYC dancers and supermodels, these girls do exist and they're very screwy little prima donna's! Kunis.... SH|T.... her character gave me WOOD. That's the kinda chick all us guys always wanna hang with but can also be bitten by due to their streetwise attitude. I met a girl like that 2 summers ago: Labia piercings and a Nymphomaniac, I wanted to adopt her! When Cassel asks Nina if she's still a virgin.... YEAH, she did come off as such in her demure feminine persona. The plot of the story is all about Nina coming out of her shell, growing up and exploring her own sexuality... to the great dismay of mommy. Now I can relate to all of this because mine wanted me to stay a virgin forever and live at home, I ended that at age 22.
My MAIN question about this film is this: I get that she actually stabbed herself rather than Kunis, but... is that ALSO concocted in her mind or did it actually happen within the story? Because for Nina to finish the rest of the opera, it's not possible to be stabbed in the stomach, flung in the air as a ballerina without losing blood and do two more acts... only to be laying on a mattress drenched in your own blood! What was fantasy vs. reality? Is it left to us to decide maybe? Ciao, bella!
