Black Swan (3/5)
Posted on 4 Jan 2011
This is on par with Aronofsky’s other works–he again trolls the depths of a destructive, compulsive, individual–but he craftily tempers the creeps with the beauty and keeps you wondering as all the lead characters avoid the obvious arcs and resolutions. Resolution is perhaps too strong a word. I continue to process the complicated and remarkable manner in which the dancer and director used one another to reach their own creative and perfect ends.

So, this review sounds more like a 4 or 5 star; what kept you at 3?

Probably my distaste for the director and the general bleak nature of the film. And, I have mixed feelings towards films about artistically compulsive people as it points a light back on my own compulsion.
