It is Good

Rating: 8/10 (29 March 2011)

Black Swan is an interesting watch. You never know exactly where the film is going or what the point is. All you know is that this one girl wants to be the lead in this one production called Swan Lake.
That's basically all you need to know, then just sit back and watch the film work it's magic, which is what it does. It veers off in to many unexpected directions pulling you along for the ride, your brain trying to piece together what has just happened while it's trying to stick with the story trying to work out whats going to happen next. It's not predictable , even when you second guess it you are only ahead for a moment as something else blindsides you leaving you aghast and making you rethink the film entirely again.
It's not complicated either, it's not full of dialogue or a complicated story line, it's more akin to walking through a really good house of horrors where when you get to the end you have a sad feeling as you realise your trip is over and you have to leave.
