Masterpiece!!!!!!!!!!

Rating: 10/10 (1 January 2011)

Darren Aronofsky completely blew me away with this fine piece of cinema. I thought that his previous work was very impressive. This movie, for me, just pushed him into another stratosphere of film making. The only thing about this movie that kinda bothers me is that it ends, depending on how you viewed "The Wrestler," the same way. That is only a very small detail though. Overall, I was left virtually speechless after leaving the big screen. If this doesn't win Best Picture and Natalie Portman doesn't win best Actress then I think they really misjudged it. Everything thing about this movie was beautiful. The camera angles were signature Aronofsky with little tweaking in actual technique. The mood is nothing that I wouldn't expect from an Aronofsky film, dark and disturbing with a hint of borderline, Horror elements to it. It's truly not a Ballet film for the faint of heart. I suggest watching this movie and simply, be amazed.
