Aronofsky has done it again

Rating: 10/10 (20 January 2011)

This extraordinary masterpiece had me captivated from the first minute right through to the end of the film. Now for all of you just expecting to see a light hearted ballerina flick then you are very wrong. I hav'nt seen Natalie Portman act as good as this ever, although she was brilliant in Leon and V For Vendetta. Mila Kunis has also shown first rate acting and Vincent Cassell was brilliant too as the strict ballerina teacher. Darren Aronofsky is becoming one of my favourite directors of all time, he hasn't made a bad film yet.
Maybe people might of heard that this film starts off really slow but trust me its not. The film is just setting itself up and introducing characters and mood. Expect to be shocked by startling scenes with extreme originality and surreal undertones. Certain parts of this film even gave me sweaty palms, its that intense. This film will leave traces of itself in my mind for many years to come and would consider it to be one of the greatest films of the past 10 years.
Natalie Portman deserves every award thats coming to her and the film should definitely have a run in for best film and best director. A MASTERPIECE 10/10.......J.D Seaton
