I Give it a 9/10

Rating: 9/10 (16 December 2010)

Black Swan is definitely a film that will send shivers up you spine, but it also has a beauty of its own, affiliating with the subject of ballet. Darren Aronofsky has a unique set of art direction in this film and a sense of elegant beauty within each scene, mainly the ballet. Nina Sayers (Natalie Portman)seems to become disturbed, especially after newcomer and rival, Lily or the "Black Swan" comes along, trying to get the title role in stage director Thomas Leroy's (Vincent Cassel) ballet performance. The film has some stunning sequences and may disturb many people, but I actually enjoyed all of it. Everything seemed to fit and as the story goes on, the deeper we are drawn into Portman's disturbing hallucinations. Or are they hallucinations. See for yourself because Black Swan is an instant winner and got my vote. 9/10 Rated R - 108min
