Up for multiple awards and on the flix in January...
Nina (Portman) is a ballerina in a New York City ballet company whose life, like all those in her profession, is completely consumed with dance. She lives with her obsessive former ballerina mother Erica (Hershey) who exerts a suffocating control over her. When artistic director Thomas Leroy (Cassel) decides to replace prima ballerina Beth MacIntyre (Ryder) for the opening production of their new season, Swan Lake, Nina is his first choice. But Nina has competition: a new dancer, Lily (Kunis), who impresses Leroy as well. Swan Lake requires a dancer who can play both the White Swan with innocence and grace, and the Black Swan, who represents guile and sensuality. Nina fits the White Swan role perfectly but Lily is the personification of the Black Swan. As the two young dancers expand their rivalry into a twisted friendship, Nina begins to get more in touch with her dark side - a recklessness that threatens to destroy her.

Its The Wrestler but with Ballet. She's a fuckin nutter.
Thoroughly enjoyed and you can see why she won the Oscar.
Not for all though.
8/10

I've literally just finished watching it and I don't really know what I think, it's quite beautiful.
It's definitely enjoyable, Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis are great ( as always ) but I don't think that I would be able to describe it to someone - like why they should watch it. I mean, it reminds me somewhat of Fight Club but there's something more special to it than that.
I'll probably get over it once it's sunk in a bit though...

mmmm.... unsure
The last hour was brilliant but the first was strange and pretty boring, don't think it helped that I hate ballet.
