So very disappointed

Rating: 2/10 (20 December 2010)

Words cannot describe how much I disliked this film. I disliked the camera work, I disliked the script, I disliked the performances, and I disliked the manipulative and needless use of graphic displays of sexuality and physical effects of dancing. You may read that and think that I am an ultra conservative movie goer, that is not the case, I just felt that Aronofsky included such graphic scenes for fun, but this certainly did not move the plot or movie along.
I actually found myself being angry at this movie!
Now, don't get me wrong. My degree is in film study, and I very much appreciate what Aronofsky is trying to do in Black Swan. I appreciate a film maker who makes bold, inventive movies, but for so many reasons, I found Black Swan to be (as my kids might say) an Epic Fail.
