Black Swan
*“Nina, what did you do?”
*
“I felt it. Perfect. It was perfect.”
Black Swan *is one of those films where you feel like you’re slowly going crazy throughout its entire duration. I went into this film completely blind **without knowing any details of the plot or what I had coming before me. I only knew of its existence because I enjoy Darren Aronofsky as a filmmaker and I’ve only heard exceptional things about this one. With each and every one of his films, Aronofsky *creates a fragile, sick, and ultimately haunting depiction of some sort of relation to trauma. And yet again to no one’s surprise, he executes it with little to no flaws. This film is genuinely fucking insane**. Natalie Portman *puts on a brilliant yet deranged performance unlike no other that is bold and seriously one to remember. Also appreciated appearances from Winona Ryder**, Mila Kunis, and young(er) Sebastian Stan *(even if it was only for a brief moment). Anyways, this film fucking rocked**.
5/5
