Black Swan (2010) 8/10

Starring : Natalie Portman, Mila Kunis, Vincent Cassel
Director : Darren Aronofsky
Running Time : 108 mins

Nina Sayers (Portman) is a professional ballerina who has just been cast in the lead role for a production of Swan Lake, but although she is perfect for The Swan Queen, with this duel role of both The Swan Queen and The Black Swan she finds she may have competition from Lily (Kunis), a ballerina who is the personification of The Black Swan.

Natalie Portman’s almost schizophrenic portrayal of Nina is a joy to behold. Her character develops throughout the film from a weak and feeble sort of person into one who is more than willing to compete for her heart’s desire, while Mila Kunis manages to play the opposition perfectly – without making us dislike her for what she doing to the protagonists career.
