Black Swan
2010










In this psychological thriller from director Darren Aronofsky, ambitious New York City ballet dancer Nina (Natalie Portman) lands the lead role in "Swan Lake," but she soon thinks her dreams of stardom are threatened by rival ballerina Lily (Mila Kunis). As opening night approaches and the pressure to be perfect builds, Nina's obsession descends into paranoia, delusion and more. Barbara Hershey plays Nina's loving but suffocating mother.
Synopsis compliments of Netflix










More of a bad acid trip than a psychological thriller - this film had an unexpectedly creepy and exploitative tone.
