Out of the ordinary

Rating: 10/10 (12 May 2013)

I'm not the typical cinema expert but I've watched a few and if you love cinema, theatre, the entertaining industry in general, you must see this movie. All sorts of human expressions actually, where talent, technique and the fear of doing wrong battle with the immortal spirit at the same time building it and serving it, at any cost.
The peculiarity of this movie is that it is about itself. yes. how? well in the end I could feel that not Nina but Natalie Portman herself was the "swan queen".
At first I didn't rate this movie 10/10 only because there are some flaws in the direction and generally because of the technical "confection" of the film, which is not "perfect"; the style is eclectic with scenes that resemble a horror or erotic movie.
Although if you watch the movie you'll understand why this movie is "out of the ordinary" and how it can be "a movie about itself", why "perfection" isn't always "perfect"... therefore to be coherent with my review, I'll rate it a 10/10.
Portman's performance is the incarnation of all that.
