A years worth of movies and finally an serious Oscar contender!

Rating: 6/10 (21 December 2010)

Darren Aronofsky hits another home run!! Loved Requiem For A Dream, The Wrestler, The Fountain and now this. This is a psychological thriller that place a young and very ambitious ballet dancer named Nina (Natalie Portman) who lives with her over controlling ex ballet dancer mother (Barbara Hershey) When given the chance of a lifetime to replace the star in an upcoming ballet "Swan Lake" although the producer of the show says its a new take on the over done ballet. Nina will have to take on the duo rolls of the white swan and the evil twin the black swan. She has heavy competition for this role in the form of Lily (Mila Kunis). Incredible amounts of pressure and an influential dark side from lily, may make Nina the star of the show or a real life black swan herself. Don't think cause this film revolves around the ballet it is going to suck, cause it definitely doesn't. Its a good movie about how pressures can make you spiral into the darkness of insanity!
