This movie has everything going for it. Firstly it’s directed by the brilliant Darren Aronofsky of The Wrestler and Requiem for a Dream fame. Secondly it’s a dark, psychologically arresting story that leaves you questioning your reality. Thirdly Natalie Portman plays the lead with such intensity that it’s no surprise she’s the forerunner in the Best Actress Oscar race.
Forget the fact that it is centred around the Swan Lake ballet. Don’t let your boyfriend or husband use this as an excuse not to see it. This is why I love awards season: bloody brilliant movies!
Rating: 5 outta 5.
