I would describe Black Swan as a cinematic romp through someone's bad dream after they went to the ballet and maybe...did some ecstasy right before they fell asleep. It seems unfair to boil it down to such a basic level but it's good to know what you're getting into before you drift off with director Darren Aronofsky. I made that mistake with his movie The Fountain a few years ago and I was depressed for the rest of the day. Today's tip: always know what's in store at the theater when it's an emotional tale. Overall, I really enjoyed the film. It kept me guessing and I followed down the rabbit hole all the way. Natalie Portman was very dynamic, showcasing a wide range of emotion as she flitted from one character to the next. Trailer here.
