If there is a weak spot people will point to it is the ending (though I don't see it that way). People will say it's predicable. To that, I must admit it is. But predictability isn't always a bad thing, especially when the film is so unpredictable in the course it takes.

Swan's make up and effects should snatch an Oscar nomination. Cinematography might as well. In fact, the fall season will have to showcase some top notch directing to eclipse what Aronofsky did here.

I never thought I'd watch ballet - or a move about it. But, my, oh my, was it thrilling.

When/where did you see it?
