      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      Bracingly intense, passionate, and wildly melodramatic, Black Swan glides on Darren Aronofsky's bold direction -- and a bravura performance from Natalie Portman.

      Julie and Brandy Autostraddle What were they trying to say? What happened?... You're all pretending you know what it means. Aug 31, 2021 Full Review Phoenix Danger Autostraddle The impeccable casting adds an elevated element of reality to a film that already hits so close to home. Jun 8, 2021 Full Review Deborah Ross The Spectator This is part horror, part thriller, part Freudian nightmare and not a pretty film, as I said, nor an easy watch, but it's so unexpected and out there and passionate it keeps you with it and involved all the way. Aug 30, 2018 Full Review Michael Leader Den of Geek Throughout, we can spot thematic threads from Aronofsky's body of emotionally raw, character-based studies of obsession and tragedy. Rated: 4/5 May 7, 2024 Full Review Don Shanahan Every Movie Has a Lesson The film's slow-boiling pull on you, the audience, builds more and more with a pace and tension that matches the maddening breakdowns of its lead character. Rated: 5/5 Feb 16, 2024 Full Review Yasser Medina Cinefilia Its psychological dialectic is as terrifying as it is paranoid with Portman's formidable performance.

      Yuki O 官能的でありつつしかし女性の内面が徐々に変化していく様を白鳥の湖の善悪の対比と上手く結びつけて表現しており、さらにナタリーポートマンの演技は圧巻だった。素晴らしい映画だったと思う。ただ親と一緒には観れないかも😅 Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/21/24 Full Review To F Que buena película enserió! Ese sentimiento y ese terror que da es de lo mejor! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/20/24 Full Review Aender S Intense story about how stress can affect one's psyche, even if you're a world class performer. All served with some neat special effects. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/08/24 Full Review Alyssa C This film is perplexing and contains strong symbolism of perfectionism in ballet. Portman's performance is truly phenomenal. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/30/24 Full Review Kenneth L A good arthouse-style psychological thriller. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/29/24 Full Review Vince I am very happy with the time I spent on this movie. Natalie Portman is my favorite actress, and I finally got to see what got her an Oscar. I enjoyed her performance and she is the MVP. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/15/24 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
