Black Swan.

I've been waiting for this film for a long time and I am happy to say that the wait has paid off. Natalie Portman gave one of the best performances I've seen of an American actress in the past decade. Truly amazing. Black Swan was every bit of dramatic, intense, and captivating as I thought it would be. I'm generally good at figuring out a storyline before it reveals itself (*cough* Shutter Island *cough) but Black Swan was good at mindsmurfing you beyond belief. You feel like you're her. You experience her physical pain, her neurosis, her pleasure, everything. It was an intense experience. The only downside was the editing. What was with all the unnecessary dissolves? Again, I'm a perfectionist so this film was very personal to me as it was to some of the actors and the director. I used to be a ballerina. Good movie!
