Its been a bad few days. Recent movies again disappoint.Sorry to review two films I didn't like in a row but it was the star power that made me do it.Remember the fable"the Kings new clothes?"Well this movie is that sort of film.I'm sorry I just don't get it.I don't SEE it.Who can really identify with this world?The acting is fine I guess,but for what?Below is a IMDB summary if you think you can involve yourself in this "weird mental statement".
Released in 2010 it runs 108 minutes.Trailer URL follows pix.
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.
