A scary and unique movie. Well done but not amazing.

Rating: 7/10 (22 January 2011)

This movie was very well done and unique. It had many cinematic elements that I have not seen before in a movie. That said, I was with two ladies- 25 and 24 years old- and many times during the movie they were unable to watch the screen. One of the ladies actually had a rash because she was so scared. So this is a warning, this movie is disturbing and strange and a lot of people will find it scary and unwatchable.
Natalie Portman is great in the movie. She looks hot and it is very scandalous. There are very graphic and suggestive scenes and if you want to see hot girls acting naughty this flick might float your boat. I personally thought the film was very well done. It was unique and interesting. Natalie Portman did a great job portraying the dark and light aspects of human nature and the complex interaction that can exist within our heads.
Overall the movie was worth seeing but I would not watch it again. I thought it was cool, but it didn't leave much of a lasting impression. Although, I do refer to my girlfriend as the Swan Queen often and I flap my arms around like the ballerinas. So I guess something changed in my life because of the movie. Maybe that is enough for me to recommend you seeing it.
Whatever you decide. Stay classy!
