Rating: 9/10 (10 March 2011)

How would I describe this film ... Brilliant, Fantastic & Beautiful.
The plot is about a girl called Nina Sayers (played by Natalie Portman) has toiled for years within a New York ballet company, always pushing herself to be perfect. The company has fallen under hard times, and director Thomas Leroy (Vincent Cassel) makes the swift decision to put on a new rendition of the classic Swan Lake. With the company's go-to lead pushed into retirement, Nina is quickly selected to be the lead in the new ballet. With competition arriving in the form of new dancer Lily (Mila Kunis), and the demanding desire for perfection from both Thomas and her overbearing mother Erica (Barbara Hershey), Nina begins a journey into dark uncharted territory.
I thought this film was beautifully set out and I thought this film is totally original as the storyline is unique and something I have never read about.
Natalie who plays Nina gives a brilliant performance. She brilliantly played the character very well as she suffers the hallucations and bad things happen to her. As well as trying too hard to be perfect and you can feel that she was under the pressure by the director, Thomas (played by Vincent Cassel) and her mother Erica (played by Barbara Hershey). As well as being paranoid of Lily as she doesn't want her to take her role as Nina portrays the white swan whereas Lily portrays the black swan.
I would also describe Black Swan as seduction as the films portrays sexual tension as well.
I would congratulate Natalie Portman to get 'Best Actress' at the Oscars and the BAFTA's. I also thought that Black swan should have got more awards other than Best Actress.
Black Swan is the film that had me kept my eyes glued to the screen and I enjoyed it.
Black Swan gets a 9/10 from me. :)
