Ex post facto I read a couple of reviews of Black Swan. I guess I am not supposed to have liked it that much.
Though Dan Kois at Slate Magazine certainly likes it:
“[T]here’s a real charge to undergoing the kind of sensation that Black Swan put me through: the feeling that the movie’s going off the rails, and I’m happily going with it.”
And The New York Times’ A.O. Scott likes it even more. And explains it well.
It is after all a horror film.
Saw it today and it left me exhausted.
I did really like it but, man, I was wasted after seeing it!!
