Black Swan

[liner]

I saw this today and it was very affecting, I guess would be the word, if that fits. Definitely more so for performance artists and artists in general, but I think it extends beyond even that. Towards the end, as it was hitting me exactly what was being said, I thought it was very clever to say something so simply, yet make it seem so dramatic and enigmatic just by the way it was shot and the preconceived notions you go into a movie like this with. If that makes any sense to anyone. It did such a good job of being artistic without a hint of pretension when it could have easily gotten mired down in gimmicks and gone the other way. 4 out of 5 for me.
