Not exactly one of the best ones, but still a great movie worth-watching!

Rating: 9/10 (20 November 2012)

I never heard of this movie before even though I do heard that it was released last two years ago. Later, we have it now on a DVD copy and my brother watched it. However, he got frightened after the beginning, so he turned it off and I said to myself, "I think it may not look so bad once I watch it." and watched the whole movie by myself. I have to admit, I was crying a little bit in the climax and near the end of the film I was so apparently touched by this film. Sure, it's not one of the best movies of that year, but it's still a great film worth-watching to those who have not seen it yet.
The only problem that I do have with this movie is that some of the characters would've been given a lot more depth to them with the exception of Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis, but that doesn't matter. In fact, the acting is excellent with Natalie Portman doing a fantastic job with her main lead as did Mila Kunis with her meatiest role as the Black Swan. The cinematography and editing is magnificent and the music from Clint Mansell is brilliant (with some nice Tchaikovsky motifs as well), but Darren Aronofsky's solid directing and a compelling, tragic, haunting, and darker story with a great concept about the ballet and a determined girl desperate to achieve a role steal the show.
Overall, Black Swan may not be a masterpiece, but it's still a great film, like I said before, to die-hard fans of Natalie Portman & Mila Kunis. With all my heart, this deserves a thumbs up from me!
