Pass the Popcorn: Black Swan

Darren Aronofsky uses his raw style to deliver another gripping story of a damaged soul trying to cope with their demons. Black Swan starts off a little slow, but by the end, you are neck deep in psychosomatics and spinning camera movements.

It's uncomfortable, disturbing, and erotic. Natalie Portman's performance is not for the faint of heart and will, no doubt, give her a great opportunity to win the Oscar. If you're a fan of Requiem for a Dream and the Wrestler, you should see this movie.

To this day, no movie has ever hit me like Requiem for a Dream did.

Black Swan is in-between Requiem and The Wrestler, swaying closer to the latter.
