About this movie

"You can't tear your eyes away" (Entertainment Weekly) from this "wicked, psychosexual thriller" (Daily Variety) starring ACADEMY AWARD® WINNER Natalie Portman* and directed by Darren Aronofsky (The Wrestler ). Portman delivers "the performance of her career" (Vanity Fair ) as Nina, a stunningly talented but dangerously unstable ballerina on the verge of stardom. Pushed to the breaking point by her driven artistic director (Vincent Cassel) and the threat posed by a seductive rival dancer (Mila Kunis), Nina's tenuous grip on reality starts to slip away -- plunging her into a waking nightmare. *Actress, Black Swan, 2010

I liked the movie and couldn't tear my eyes away from it but it was not necessarily a good movie. The movie was intriguing, beautiful and we'll acted but I would say not to watch this expecting a horror movie. If you like ballet or the theatre then you'll probably get something out of this but it's really only about a ballerina gradually becoming mentally unstable in the pursuit of perfection. She is both her own best friend and worst enemy. This leads to a tragic end. Sorry if I spoiled it.

What a intense movie not in the sense that anything huge is going on it's a gradual psychological ride with just enough to keep you watching! Her obsession is the make of this movie and of the discipline. The mind is a disturbing masterpiece this movie is an example. Very well on the Cast. I wouldn't say this is the best movie ever, it's a nice addition. A movie you have to be in the mood for. She played her part very well! It is definitely worth your watch.

Disappointing. Love Natalie, love ballet, really disappointed. Glad I didn't spend the money at the theater. Didn't like the story. Don't get why this movie made it at box office. I'm trying to think of what I liked (two days later), can't think of a thing. So sorry.
