This movie has gotten so much hype for being brilliant and disturbing and when I finally got the chance to see it, I have to agree. Darren Aronofsky did a fantastic job of showing this girls decent as she risked her sanity to be all that she ever dreamed. Natalie Portman was flawless. She went from being so timid and fragile to powerful and unstable right before your eyes! There is one scene in her dressing room, where she is putting make-up on..... All I have to say is "Damn!" Her transition was complete, and mirrored the plot so well that there was no doubt that she was the 'swan' in question. Mila Kunis, Vincent Cassell, and Barbary Hershey really really rounded out the supporting cast as well, topped off by Winona Ryder playing the old-news former star of the show, who does not take her fall with grace. Every single character was magnificently flawed and complimented the story perfectly, making Nina's (Portman) decline into madness that mush richer and dark.
I give Black Swan a 9 outta 10.
