Black Swan (2012)

By Adam Edwards



A film that boasts Mila Kunis and Natalie Portman in lead roles promised to be an enjoyable two hours and Black Swan did not disappoint. After hearing that it was a particularly scary affair, I was cautious but forced myself to watch it from behind a cushion.

Turns out, though a psychological thriller, not a scary film at all. Very enjoyable with some funny moments thrown in. A few jumpy parts but overall a very watchable film.

Best Bits - Memorable Kunis/Portman scenes, a good twist ending.

Worst bits - The premise of dance (non-dance fans may get bored at times)

For fans of - Ballet, dance films.

Rating - 7/10
