taut and intense but also dynamic

Rating: 7/10 (10 June 2019)

Harrowing, alluring, and simply magnificent; Black Swan is one of the most aesthetic pieces of filmmaking. Combined with a deserving performance by Natalie Portman, fantastical direction by Aronofsky, mind-melting and horrific imagery, and a general theme instability; the entire film culminates in a work that can only be described as perfect.
