    I've never seen the movie Black Swan but every swan I've seen in my life looks like this, so I can only assume it's about a ballet dancer who is completely normal

    Zoë Kravitz tells us how Darren Aronofsky’s ‘BLACK SWAN’ left an impact on her “I think there’s something about that movie, starring a woman but being so dark and twisted... women don't get a lot of films like that. That was a punk movie for me.”

    Part of my beat is highlighting unjustly forgotten movies; 1980 British musical Breaking Glass has just one review on Rotten Tomatoes; now it's got two. Hazel O'Connor excels in a bleak, abrasive movie that lands somewhere between Vox Lux and Black Swan. 4 out of 5 film-authority.com/2026/06/30/b...

    This movie was beautiful and haunting. Anne Hathaway and Michaela Coel ate up the whole movie. No crumbs. It gave very Suspiria & Black Swan. The base plot was definitely inspired by Lady Gaga. Definitely one of my favorite films of the year so far.

    Since 1929, only four actresses have won Oscars for horror movie performances (Ruth Gordon for Rosemary's Baby, Kathy Bates for Misery, Foster for Silence of the Lambs, Portman for Black Swan). I suspect the Academy's anti-horror bias worked against Demi Moore more than people expected.

    Rewatched Black Swan last night. It's a good film, but it's Natalie Portman's performance that takes it to the next level. Kunis and Cassel are good, but she is outstanding. Very impressive ballet scenes too. Almost didn't need some of the more obvious #horror elements. #Filmsky #Moviesky 📽️

    I remember hearing before about how Aronofsky had it in mind that he wanted to make a wrestling movie and a ballet movie, just generally, before making The Wrestler and Black Swan. Idk I dig the lack of specificity in that aim and approach writing the same way.
