Lose Yourself

Rating: 10/10 (5 June 2016)

Black Swan is an experience in and of itself. I went to see this film with my mother, fully aware that the film had what some people would refer to as "explicit" scenes, or NSFW (I only just learned what this acronym means).
And Black Swan flew beyond my expectations.
I can recall being in that movie theater, and truly connecting to Natalie Portman's character Nina. It was almost as if we (the viewer) had become this character. We felt and experienced her fear and paranoia; sanity was questionable as you would lose yourself watching this masterpiece of a film.
Without giving the plot away, let me just say the film was beautifully done. Darren Aronofsky really came through with the storytelling. Everything about it was immersive, and as the story progresses you can't help but become a part of the Black Swan experience.
Trust me, there will be many second viewings.
