Review: I was very lucky to snag tickets to the Black Swan International Film Festival in Toronto. BEST: Natalie Portmans acting is perfection - definitely worthy of an Oscar. Mila Kuniss performance was surprising in a good way, it is clear that he came out of his comfort zone. Score for the film was brilliant. Of course, much of it is taken from Swan Lake, but I liked that they were able to incorporate music throughout the film, not just the ballet scenes. Of course, it is beautifully illustrated and the story is gripping - I was drawn in from beginning to end. The public saw a different side of the ballet / theater that is not often shown in popular movies - martial artist faces engage and improve its position. The battle between good and evil, is presented in a systematic and engaging way. The bad: Many parts of this movie felt like it belonged in the horror genre. Some parts certainly made me jump or cringe (which I did not expect). The film was also an emotional roller coaster, which was a good start, but this is an emotional roller coaster thing lasted to the point that it almost felt like it was too much. It seems to me that it could be tuned down a notch. Overall, I thought that most of the film is wonderful, and I highly recommend it.
