Similar to Inception I left this movie asking myself what the eff just happened and is it real. So did the rest of the cinema apparently, as it took a couple of minutes for people to realize the film was over and come to terms with what they just saw.
While I thoroughly enjoyed this movie, I have so many questions left unanswered, and if I were to truly question the possibility of events in this movie, I would loose myself, and become just as delusional as Miss Portman's character Nina Sayers, who with the help from a emotionally tormenting, overbearing mother becomes obsessed and then delusional following the stress of being cast as head ballerina in her company's production of Swan Lake.
Similar to The Fighter where Mr Bale lost weight for his role as Dickie Ecklund, Miss Portaman reportedly lost around 10 kg's (20 pounds) to make her look more like a ballerina. Amazingly, Miss Portman also did capitalized on nearly 10 years of ballet lessons to perform most of her dance routines in this movie; any shots with only Miss Portmans hips down were shot with dance double, 26 year old proffesional ballerina Sarah Lane. While costar Mila Kunis had less experience on the ballet front her dance double was proffesional ballerina Maria Riccetto.
I give this movie 9/10 for a fantastic ballet movie, and for providing an unforgettable start, middle, and finish.
Ciao
