    she really shines and shows herself as the star and great actress she is in black swan, but didnt you all see Leon, or Garden State or V for Vendetta or Closer? She's had some amazing performances these last couple years

    I've seen all of those and only found her bearable in Leon... brilliant brilliant film but it's been downhill from there IMO.
    The Astoria??? Orgazmic!
    Verona??? it's all surmountable
    Dublin 23.08.06 "The beauty of Ireland, right there!"
    Wembley? We all believe!
    Copenhagen?? your light made us stars
    Chicago 07? And love
    What a different life

    I had no interest in seeing this but my sister and niece went to see it's about all they have spoke about since.It makes me want to go see it now.I like Natalie Portman as an actress.

    Mixed feelings. Portman is clearly a good actress, but I used to dance and I don't remember ballet mothers that psycho, nor ballet teachers. Somewhat over the top for the sake of making a strange film. Anyone with any connection to art is well acquainted with how much you can throw yourself into your work and how it can make you crazy but it just left me a little cold. Maybe I need to see it a time or two more. The bloody feet were accurate though.

    Every time I get a hang nail now I flip out a little from that one scene. Also, when anyone mentions a nail file.

    What was with Winona Ryder? Is it just me or was she just a little too campy?

    Saw it last weekend....really didn't like it....found it boring....predictable....reminded me a bit of Mulholland Drive actually.

    I can't believe this was up for Best Picture and that Natalie Portman won Best Actress....but she did get naked and have her big sex scene etc and that's a sure way to win the hearts of the Academy. I'm not saying her acting performance was bad....it was just....average....and same goes to the movie.

    2 out of 5 stars.

    Saw this movie on DVD today. Wow that was really messed up. Did anyone see the comparisons to Charlotte Perkins Gilman's The Yellow Wallpaper?
    1. When her mother's drawing kept coming alive. In The Yellow Wallpaper the wall starts talking to the main character during her decent into madness.
    2. The way Natalie Portman's character was made sleep in her childhood bedroom with all her stuffed animals and ballerina jewelry boxes. In The Yellow Wallpaper they kept her in a nursery.
    I haven't read that story since my first year in college (almost 10 years ago) but those were the comparisons I saw without re-reading.
