Good, not great. Well acted and directed, not brilliant. Overall I found 'Black Swan' engaging and imaginative but amazingly pretentious. It will certainly leave you talking about the imagery and themes after, but it is not even the least bit complex.
Without giving away the end (you'll figure it out about forty minutes in) I will say that the film feels, looks and resonates like a ballet - it's slow and prodding at times but artistic and flowing too. The story line mirrors in many ways, 'Swan Lake', the ballet being played out in the film.
While good and worth your time, 'Black Swan' tries way too hard to leave a mark, while in the end missing it.
