    No love? I like Aronofsky and I think he's done it again. So many subtle little things that make me go wow.

    I loved it. I saw it twice already. I love how you can't pinpoint a particular genre for this movie as it'll have you laughing one moment, freaking out the next, confused later, all while enjoying amazing performances by the cast and director.

    I liked it also... the ending was a little predictable, but still good

    Absolutely loved it. I'm a big Aronofsky fan and had been waiting for months for it to come to my city. I'll be adding a copy to my collection!

    Best moment for me:

    Spoiler:
    Her literal transformation into a swan and then as we see the normal her from the audiences' perspective, she is still casting birdlike shadows on the back wall.

    Just saw it. I'd say it was absolutely amazing - if it wasn't so heavily influenced by Roman Polanski's Replulsion. Definitely has the same feel and creepiness factor.

    But I did love it. I really enjoyed the ballet in it, and I usually can't stand dancing of any kind in movies. And I can't believe how much Mila Kunis is growing as an actress. I always picture her saying "MICHAELLLL" in her whiney That '70's Show voice, and it's amazing when I see her in anything else.

    Man, I really wanted to like this one, but for me it missed the mark.

    I expected an intense psycho-sexual thriller but what I got felt more like a gimmicky spoof of a Roman Polanski movie; Repulsion with more feathers and less wit. I mean, I did laugh at some of the performances (Winona Ryder is a hoot), but I'm not sure that's the effect Aronofsky was going for.

    Part of the problem (for me) is that every character in the film is basically a caricature: "The sexually repressed waif"... "The domineering mother"... "The brilliant but demanding choreographer"... "the embittered, self-loathing has-been"...

    Was I really supposed to take these characters seriously?

    Don't get me wrong; I think Aronofsky is a talented guy. I just don't think Black Swan represents his best work.

    Well, maybe he'll actually do the character justice

    This movie is getting really good reviews all over. Looks like the one time Hollywood hit the mark.

    I didn't think I would enjoy but I liked it. I think Aronofsky both did a great job!

    One of if not the most disturbing movie I have seen in the past 10 years that I went into expecting a chick flick. Walked out of the theater questioning my masculinity because it genuinely freaked me out. Fantastic film although I will never see it again.

    Don't wait for DVD, you'll never get another chance to see it on the big screen! It is definitely not a chic flick.

    He was a front-runner for Batman at one time too. Can you imagine?

    Just saw it. Fascinating, I liked it.
    The weirdest part for me is the fact that my sister in law looks so much like Natalie.
    Thus, the erm.. self-exploration portions were slightly awkward.
