Good, but not for everyone
Black Swan was an excellent movie, although a bit disturbing at times. The story follows the young Nina, a ballerina about to make her major debut. Restrained by an overprotective mother who tries to live through her and a coach who will stop at nothing to push his girls to their limits, Nina quickly falls into madness under the pressure to become truly great. Each actor played their role spectacularly and Nina's psychological deterioration is aptly represented by the often erratic presentation of the story. While there are some very explicit scenes in the movie, they accurately represent what can happen to a young woman so much pressure and repression that she can literally snapped. As a former dancer and skater, I have seen first hand the damage that can be done, and Black Swan captures this well, for better or for worse.
