i relate to natalie portman because i too take every artistic criticism to an intensely personal level and love jerking off and stabbing myself
Review by DirkH ★★★★★ 24

Whenever asked to define what the horror genre is to me, I always refer to the works of Edgar Allen Poe, particularly his story the Sphinx. This is a story about a man who is stressed as everyone around him is dying of cholera. He retreats to a country home. There, while sitting at a window, he sees a huge monster running towards his cabin. He is stressed out of his mind, convinced this is a sign of his own imminent death. In the end it was merely a spider that was dangling a couple of inches in front of his eyes. His stressed mind created the monster, feeding his feeling of loss of control over the situation around him.…

sometimes i, too, cry when i realise that i stabbed myself and not my arch nemesis that i wanted to sleep with who was me in my mind from time to time but also a different person in real life. but only sometimes.

After Climax, Suspiria and now this I’m convinced that dance related horrors/thrillers are like the best sub genre and I didn’t know about it until about three days ago why did no one tell me?

Natalie Portman just ran up to me, screamed “gay rights!” in my face then turned into a bird and flew away... I’m not kidding
Review by Caitlin ★★★★★ 4

honestly? WHERE is the prequel about Winona Ryder's rise and fall as a prima ballerina and her steamy and tempestuous affair with her dance director, Real Man Vincent Cassel?

Vez que la veo, vez que la amo.
Review by Angel Esteban Serrano ★★★★★

Arronofsky mindfuckeando como siempre ha hecho.
El mejor papel que ha hecho Natalie Portman.
Review by Jan Stumper ★★★★★

Völlig überraschend schafft es dieser Film eine Intensität, die Hoch und Tiefs und einen psychologischen Terror zu vermitteln, die so einzigartig ist.
Das funktioniert auch deshalb, weil jeder sich mit Konkurrenzsituationen und Leistungsdruck identifizieren kann. Wie sich diese selbst pathologisieren zeigt Black Swan. Aus Konkurrenz wird Paranoia, Missgunst und führt in dieser krankhaften Form schließlich zu einer Diskontenexität zur Realität.
Black Swan ist daher ein Pyschothriller und Drama zugleich. Er erwischt ein Kalt und reist einen in die Abgründe des Lebens der Protagonist hinein.
Review by mati ★★★★

strong movie.
made me feel discomfortable, which means it’s a good movie.
Review by Bruno_Marques ★★

I found a lot of points of interest in this movie yet the "fragil girl that is opressed by everyone but scores at the end" model is overused by now
Review by Alex ★★★★

one of the greatest joys in life is identifying the true source of a meme. so when miss natalie walked into the bathroom to wipe the word WHORE off of the mirror, i lost it. (to say i was freaking out about this movie from the start would be an understatement). the other greatest joy in life is natalie portman. i am still not over everything she did for this role. okayy miss harvard‼️
i don’t have to tell you how well this movie used the horror genre. they did almost no wrong - except for that scene where she pulls her hangnail all the way down her finger because that is actually my worst nightmare AH and for that, i dock a star

Review by Barbara ★★★★

É exatamente em Black Swan que Aronofsky alcançou o topo com sua mistura de horror Grand Guignol e arte superior, bem conceituada. É como se ele apertasse seu pescoço com as duas mãos mostrando que, a cada cena, ele estava no controle. Não acredito que muitos de nós tenham visto muitos filmes como esse. É descarado, é ridículo, é magnífico, é humano, é único, é o mundo em seu pior, é o pior em seu melhor - e é justamente por isso que é estranhamente atraente. De alguma maneira desconcertante, Black Sawn é um estudo, é um ensaio sobre a loucura. É por isso que os interessados no assunto vão ter/tiveram orgasmos com essa obra.

maybe there simply is no better film and we all just have to grow up and admit that
Review by davidct ★★★★

A dark and masterful exploration into the world of schizophrenia.
Review by Gandalf der Blaue ★★★★

Der Film war geil.. meine Erwartungen waren nur etwas zu hoch/anders(?).. ihr müsst wissen, D. Aronofskys Requiem for a Dream ist einer meiner absoluten Lieblingsfilme und er hat mich wirklich geprägt. Jetzt hab ich endlich den hochgelobten Black Swan geschaut und ich muss sagen, ich war doch miniminimal enttäuscht. RfaD hatte diesen Schlag in die Fresse und in den Magen, während Black Swan eher nur der Schlag in die Fresse ist. Ich liebe Swan Lake! Deshalb spricht mich der Film wirklich sehr an, und dieser Konkurrenz-Druck, das Hauptthema des Films, ist etwas, was mich als Orchestermusiker ebenfalls sehr berührt. Nur finde ich, dass diese visuellen Effekte, dem Film nicht wirklich gut getan haben, da der Film dadurch nicht so greifbar…
