Black Swan is one of the few movies that feels like your watching it for the first time with every rewatch. Really just makes your inner ballerina smile - and that smile is one part joy and one part psychopathy. ( ) Third-rate Hitchcock. Second-rate DePalma. Thoroughly unpleasant from beginning to end despite good performances. Seen through the eyes of the lead character, Portman's ballerina, the world is a really awful place and the people in it little short of monsters. The director must have watched The Red Shoes one too many times--or perhaps one time too few. The only art in this film is that lent it by Tchaikovsky's wonderful music. I truly hated this movie. First, the plot is completely unoriginal and predicable--but not enjoyable--just sordid, which I usually enjoy, but there is just nothing here to offset it. We are just watching the tragedy in progress, which no number of good performances--Kunis, at least--can rescue. no reviews | add a review
