The most haunting...but brilliant movie of the year!!!!!

Rating: 10/10 (4 April 2011)

Many people may think this is simply a ballet movie. Ballet is the central theme, but it is also the most dark and twisted main stream movie i have seen. "Things aren't as they seem" is also a central element, which makes the movie very haunting. Most things don't bother me, but some scenes in this movie made me say "Oh my G-d!" Natalie Portman's performance of a professional perfectionist ballerina who descends into madness while also becoming the part of the black swan in her ballet performance and personal life is nothing less than amazing. Absolutely recommended, but NOT for kids in the least. Prepare to be disturbed, yet amazed.
