Black Swan is definitely a movie you're going to love or you're going to hate. I really don't know what to think of this. First off, all the rave reviews I've heard about the film wasn't enough to make me rush out and see this and I kept putting off checking this out on DVD in spite of the Oscar nominations and the win for Natalie Portman for Best Actress. Ballet is just not something I am interested in and no matter how stellar Natalie Portman's acting is in it, it's still going to be an uphill climb for me in embracing the movie.

Let's just get it out of the way.....I don't love the movie, But I don't hate it either. I can and do admire what Portman brought to her role and I commend what Darren Aronofsky did visually with the script. But at the end of the day, it's a very hollow film for me and doesn't give me any satisfaction whatsoever when the final scene plays out. I say give it a Rent if you are fans of either Portman, Aronofsky or Mila Kunis, other wise I would say this is a Skip. It's something I know I will never watch again.

I've been totally baffled at the accolades this movie gets. I think it was timing, in the sense, Oscars always cater to movies that are close to Oscar time and those movies that feature the Arts.

This movie did not move me in any sense. I remember some folks labeling this as a horror movie. Really? In what sense?

Psychological horror?

In my mind I saw Black Swan is nothing more than drama. I'll never watch this again. I won't say I hated it, but I would question those to tell me why this is a great movie. Not really, I don't care, but I'd just be rebellious.
