the tragedy of striving for perfection

Rating: 8/10 (20 April 2019)

This movie is pure art. The cinematography was delightful. The soundtrack was great, it definitely made the movie more intense. I liked the visuals too. But hands down, even though there were many good things, the best was Natalie Portman. Her moves, her faces, her voice. Her acting left me speechless. Of course, actors like Winona Ryder, Mila Kunis and Vincent Cassel were unshakable too. But Natalie was the gem of this movie. She played amazing as this beautiful ballerina. The way she portrayed schizophrenia was brilliant. Again, she was stunning!
