Darren Aronofsky has done it again. Black Swan was absolutely spectacular.

Rating: 10/10 (3 December 2010)

Everyone please go out and see this movie now. It was completely a spectacular film. I was absolutely blown away by the film once it reached it's end. If Natalie Portman doesn't nominated for Best Actress, I'm gonna be pretty upset. Her performance was riveting, she plays the character so well and you see the change she goes through throughout the film and by the time you see her dance as the black swan, she's a completely different person. Amazing.
It's definitely the best film of the year so far and one of the best I've seen in quite some time. There need to be more movies like this! To those who've seen Repulsion, be ready for your mind to be screaming "THIS IS SO SIMILAR!" The Tenant and Suspiria came to mind while watching it too.
The cinematography was extremely beautiful, so complex in certain scenes yet so simple in others. The music score was so lovely, I really enjoyed how the composer mixed in elements of Swan Lake and blended it with a modern musical score. Both the cinematography & the music score really deserve nominations too.
From the opening scene (which is probably one of best opening scenes I've ever seen) the film draws you in and keeps you in until the ending. I was literally shaking by the time the movie was over. I was that amazed. Darren Aronofsky sure has come quite a way from Pi (that is great movie too), but really every one of his films gets even better after the next. I'm really excited to see what else has to offer. I personally think he's the Stanely Kubrick of our times. (In my opinion) I absolutely loved it. Go see it now. 10/10.
