i relate to natalie portman because i too take every artistic criticism to an intensely personal level and love jerking off and stabbing myself
Review by DirkH ★★★★★ 24

Whenever asked to define what the horror genre is to me, I always refer to the works of Edgar Allen Poe, particularly his story the Sphinx. This is a story about a man who is stressed as everyone around him is dying of cholera. He retreats to a country home. There, while sitting at a window, he sees a huge monster running towards his cabin. He is stressed out of his mind, convinced this is a sign of his own imminent death. In the end it was merely a spider that was dangling a couple of inches in front of his eyes. His stressed mind created the monster, feeding his feeling of loss of control over the situation around him.…

After Climax, Suspiria and now this I’m convinced that dance related horrors/thrillers are like the best sub genre and I didn’t know about it until about three days ago why did no one tell me?

sometimes i, too, cry when i realise that i stabbed myself and not my arch nemesis that i wanted to sleep with who was me in my mind from time to time but also a different person in real life. but only sometimes.

Natalie Portman just ran up to me, screamed “gay rights!” in my face then turned into a bird and flew away... I’m not kidding
Review by Caitlin ★★★★★ 4

honestly? WHERE is the prequel about Winona Ryder's rise and fall as a prima ballerina and her steamy and tempestuous affair with her dance director, Real Man Vincent Cassel?

THIS IS THE SCARIEST MOVIE EVER MADE
Review by justmiaslife ★★★★★ 5

the scene where nina pulls off her cuticle is the scariest scene in the history of cinema and will haunt me forever
Review by Marian ★★★★

not a single outfit natalie portman wears this whole movie makes any logical sense but i want all of them
Review by CinemaClown ★★★★½ 7

Ingeniously balancing beauty & horror from start to finish, Black Swan is a harrowing depiction of a passion turning into an obsession which ultimately sets in motion a chain of events that results in complete self-destruction. Apart from being one of the best offerings of its year, this psychosexual thriller is also Darren Aronofsky's finest work since his 2000 manic Requiem for a Dream.
The story concerns Nina Seyers, a highly skilled ballet dancer who is chosen as the ballerina for her ballet company's next play 'Swan Lake'. Perfect in the role of the delicate & innocent White Swan character, Nina fails to convincingly pull off the personality that is required for the sly & sensual Black Swan. And in her desperate attempt…

Review by 𝓜 ★★★★★

"i felt it. i was perfect."
i love this movie and i can relate a lot with nina?? it is scary but intimate and pretty sad at the same time. also mila kunis and natalie portman making out !!!!!! the gays r always winning
Review by shadman rahman ★★★★★

was in the mood to feel ✨✨✨uncomfy✨✨✨ so i put this on. i think this is one of the best examples of unconventional obsession put to modern film that i have seen. natalie portman is just phenomenal here - like christian bale level.
i really love watching films about areas i know little about - im sure a film about areas (other than film itself) that i know a lot about like maths or physics (im not just a pretty face) would be equally as entertaining but being put into a position where i am watching a story about something unbeknownst to me is exhilarating - seeing these people so consumed in this passion, something they have dedicated blood sweat and tears into, something i could never comprehend, makes me think. and thats pretty cool!
this is such a clever, well made film that is worthy of all the praise it gets and more, im glad i watched it again!

Review by Dennis ★★★★

What in the hell
Not gonna lie, I don't think that all of this worked for me (mainly some of the hallucinations, won't go into specifics) but otherwise this is really good! One of the best supporting casts in a movie I've seen in recent memory too!
