You do not need to be a ballet fan to enjoy this movie

Rating: 8/10 (12 December 2012)

What an amazing film.
I have always been tempted to see this film, but the only thing that put me off was the ballet. I don't mind ballet, but I am not really a fan. But the trailer for this movie does look really good... My girlfriend and I watched it last night and I was not disappointed.
The story is about a ballet dancer who takes ballet very seriously. She is fighting to get the role of the Swan Queen in Swan Lake, and when she gets it she is fighting to keep it... but she is a very disturbed and paranoid person.
It stars Natalie Portman... I am a fan of hers, I think she has made some great movies. But this to me is the best performance of her career. She is so believable. It also has Mila Kunis who plays her ballet rival. Also, in a supporting role, you h ave Winona Ryder. A very strong cast.
The story is very tense and full of suspense. I was that engrossed that at one point, i jumped a mile. haha.
Also, the special effects that were used in this movie were very impressive.
This thriller is such a good movie, that you do not need to like ballet to enjoy the film. If you like thrillers, you should see this film.
I will give this film an 8 out of 10.
Amazing story, amazing acting, amazing film!
