I've only seen one short clip of this film.

Definitely made me want to watch the rest of the film biggrin

Although, I have to say - Mila Kunis is better than both posted above.

Really looking forward to this. Big Arronofsky, Mansell (does amazing soundtracks), Portman and, after watching the esquire 'women we love' vid on you tube, Kunis fan.

Darren Arronofsky's other films are worth checking out, especially The Wrestler (from what I understand it has similarities to Black Swan), The Fountain and Requiem for a Dream (both a bit more esoteric, both with stunning soundtracks by Clint Mansell).

I enjoyed it but thought it should have been longer to allow for more of a back-story on the characters. There was so much ballet in it there wasn't much time for anything else.

Looked fantastic though.

I loved it. Then I read a few online discussions about it, picked up on bits and pieces that I missed the first time.

Saw it again with that in mind and liked it even more, though now I have about 3 different interpretations/theories on what exactly is going on throughout the film.

Film was ok, i may have overlooked the storyline with the constant obsession with Natalie and Mila kunis....

Dreamy eyes on Mila K..!

But yeah, a good film i thought. the dream/halucination Natalie Portman had was AMAZING. that is all

One problem I had was Peter Griffin saying "Shut up Meg" in my ear every time Mila Kunis was speaking. biggrin

I'm assuming you did that to illustrate your point?

yes

As a well known writer said to a slightly different question.
