Dark and mesmerizing

Rating: 8/10 (28 February 2020)

With an Oscar win for best performance in a leading role rewarded to Natalie Portman, Black Swan is regarded as one of her best roles. This film starts off quite tame in tone then we do see the shift within the tone as things get darker, more violence is shown and there are occasional yet confusing hallucinations which seem to appear.
Black Swan is mainly about ballet but the story revolving around Natalie Portman is much more. Mila Kunis also delivers a very good performance. At times the film does become confusing, specifically the ending in which maybe open for different interpretations.
