ReviewsThe Guardian - Fantastically deranged at all times, Darren Aronofsky's ballet psycho-melodrama is a glittering, crackling, outrageously pickable scab of a film., Daily Telegraph - Powerful, gripping and always intriguing..., Empire Magazine - An extraordinary, intoxicating movie. Its hard, twisted edges may turn off some, but there's no faulting either Aronofsky's technical mastery or Portman's flawless performance., Time Magazine - Gee, it's a real woman's movie, and not one of those strenuous heart-warmers about female companionship and compromise., Chicago Sun-Times - Darren Aronofsky's BLACK SWAN is a full-bore melodrama, told with passionate intensity, gloriously and darkly absurd. -
