The Black Swan

Rating: 9/10 (16 January 2013)

So I finally sat down and watched the Black Swan. I am not to interested in movies with dancing but this one was different. The lead character is given a role of her career and will do anything to prove she is the right person for the role. The film is pretty suspenseful and thrilling. It may come off to some as a horror film and I understand why. Some of the reviews I read on here call the film confusing. What they failed to understand is that mostly all the craziness that went on was all in her head. She let the role consume her. Towards the end the dance instructor tells her she is the only one standing in her way which confirms the hallucinations she was dealing with was with herself mainly. In one scene she believed she had stabbed a girl who was trying to take her spot but in reality she stabbed herself. The acting was good and may be a bit violent for some.
