I Don't Understand All The Hype....

Rating: 4/10 (22 December 2010)

I honestly don't understand all the hype about this film. Natalie Portman plays a psychotic, delusional, spoiled brat who flaps her arms around like a "swan?" Many are saying her character loses her mind during the course of the story but the fact is, her character was already lost before she was given the role. I found this film to be depressing and filled with what amounted to an adolescent crying and pouting about her inadequate performances. Portman plays a psychotic quite well but it does little to hold my attention. We are transported back and forth between the delusions of her character and what might be reality. It becomes boring and predictable at best. Maybe the lesbian sex is what the public loves about this film? In the end, even this is a delusion... This film works hard to entertain but I found it to be froth with whining and predictable presentations of delusion.
