Black Swan...
Hmm. I'm undecided, really. I liked it... enjoyed it. I was engaged through the entire film, and overall I can say many good things about it. I do have a beef with lazy plot development though, and this is another one that falls in to that category. Once again we're teased by a wonderful idea... that never really blossoms. It's sort of like being in a room full of people with great ideas, but them being unable to form one brilliant piece.
This "let them develop their own interpretation" or "hey, that's the beauty of it... it's up to you" direction is just... pretentious. To an extent, it's great. But once we've already caught on to what's really happening midway through the film... stop digging at it and smooth things out. You know?
It's becoming annoying that every movie hyped is either A) Really boring with nice cinematography. Or B) A pretentious film that tries too hard to be deep, and leaves people hanging to connect dots.
Sounds like I hated it now that I think of it- BUT I didn't.
I'd watch it again, and that's a rare thing. Great film that I think could have been far better with a bit more effort in to the script... or less someone trying to be a bit too artsy. Either or.
8/10
I feel if I didn't act I may think less of this film also. It registered on a personal level to a minimal extent.
