Black Swan

Nina, a devoted ballerina finally gets her chance to shine when she is selected as the Swan Princess in her companies performance of Swan Lake.  Although thrilled at the opportunity she is daunted by the task of becoming the black swan and proving her versatility as a dancer. This becomes apparent as the line between her and the black swan becomes more and more blurred.

Wow. This is a very dark adaptation of the ballet Swan Lake.  It is a psychological thriller that takes many twists and turns.  Natalie Portman does a really good job and completely sucks you in.  You are never really sure if she is the victim or the villain.

Extremely dark but very engaging.

*** Must See


Rated R (for sexual content, violence, and language)
