***SPOILER ALERT. SPOILER ALERT. SPOILER ALERT.***
WHAT?!?!?! ANOTHER PIECE OF CRAP?!?! I honestly fail to see what the hype is around this movie.
The viewer can easily figure out what's wrong with her back (the swan's feathers will grow out eventually), yes Nina is pretty psycho, but there is nothing really interesting going on.
And if the hype is around the sexual/masturbation scene... that scene is nothing but useless. It might have caused some 'talk', but neither that scene nor the entire movie for that matter, is worth giving Natalie Portman an oscar. She's had better roles. Nothing special in her performance here.
If there could be a 0 star, I'd give it. I figured after PI and REQUIEM FOR A DREAM, *maybe* this new Aronofsky picture would be better, but turns out I didn't enjoy Black Swan either, so for me, that's it for this director. Three chances is more than enough.
