Natalie Portman deserved the Oscar for this movie. Movie=5stars. Female version of Psycho.

Rating: Null/10 (27 June 2017)

I think that Natalie Hershlag (I prefer her original name) reached almost the perfection on the recitation of the character assigned to her. The recitation of all actors is excellent on this movie. The plot is good, directing is good, the narration and story line are a bit weak.
***spoiler***
The main character interpreted by Natalie has hallucinations, her obsession to be perfect for an IMPERFECT ROLE killed her by herself. That's the spirit of the movie. The message is that goodness doesn't match technical perfection. The goodness or evilness are independent from perfection. So the character obsessed to play the perfection about the other evil role decides to kill the good part of her killing herself because of the fear to be not able to play the bad role. The fear she feels, generates hallucinations where both environment and people can represent menaces to her aim although the real enemy is herself.... so killing her opponent she kills herself. End of the movie and end of the white swan.
