Mr. Aronofsky, director, should be trussed up like a chicken and fed to rabid dingos for creating this movie. " Sure, it's melodramatic and self-important, but Black Swan is still a thing of rare terrifying, heartbreaking, surreal, monstrous, and downright orgasmic beauty." - Marc Fennell, Triple J " Black Swan is that rare holiday Oscar contender that is a movie for all seasons, a film that is all things to all people." - Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel ...*huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu*... That is all.

When you find yourself staring blankly ahead as the credits roll by, thinking "Well, there's 90 minutes of my life I'll never get back.", let it never be said I didn't warn you.

I take it you were dragged there against your will, or went just to appease someone else.
(I personally won't be wasting any time or money on it myself)

DW and I rented it based on the critical acclaim. She said, "The story looks interesting." I said, "It was consistently well-reviewed." Hand in hand, we carried it to the counter. We were wrong... So very, very wrong.

My iTunes review reads as follows: If you deeply enjoy ballet, fits of violence, stunted character subplots, and watching stories unfold through the eyes of a protagonist with more psychological problems than the combined population of a small country, Mr. Aronofsky's flawless chaining together of psychotic breaks into a movie will not leave you wanting. I meant every word of it.

Brief flashes of pasty white mannequins in enormous tutus doesn't do much for me.

Less dress and more meat on the bones with some color...would hold your attention?

I cannot comprehend the mind of one who would enjoy that movie, meghan. Consider me truly thankful for that fact.

yea in the movie section of our community (which is getting bigger so go and check it out) we are giving this movie a thumbs down as well however I still want to see it because I have a different reason for wanting to see it. it should not be as bad for me.
