Good film

Rating: 9/10 (3 February 2011)

Amazing, amazing, amazing!! Yes, I'm sure you've heard already that its pretty amazing. Definitely one to slot in there with the top greatest. Unless you're one of those people who really loves dumb-ass ballet films with no meaning to it then GO SEE IT!! Oh yeah, it's NOT a film about ballet, that of course plays a part in it but it simply acts as a small thread interwoven within Nina's (Natilie Portman) desperate struggle with reality. It's one of those films that really takes you on a journey but it doesn't simply take you gently by the hand, it violently clutches you by the face and drags you in... in a good way.
It was a very uncomfortable and unnerving film that set up a great, alluring atmosphere, it on many occasions left you thinking. did that actually happen?! If it didn't then how did that happen?!?! If it did then how did... AHHHHH!!!! This got you very much thinking just like the main character (Nina) and this created a great connection that allowed you to feel very much involved. Very deserving of any awards possible and a definite must see. The only criticism is maybe Natalie should try a more contrasting role, I mean, first Leon, a crazy little girl who repeatedly tries to seduce a 50ish old man. Closer, a desperate, young stripper or Star Wars, Anakin's bitch! And now this!! Of course I'm joking, shes great! All in all another great film from Darren Aronofsky's powerful arsenal. GO SEE IT!!!
