i’ve always heard from friends that black swan is one of the best films ever made, but never truly understood why until i finally watched it for the first time. in my opinion, it’s disturbing, but beautiful. natalie portman did a fantastic job at capturing the realistic struggles of not just a dancer, but a perfectionist. you feel bad for her at first, believing that she’s a victim because of the people she interacts with when the truth gradually comes to terms with you: she’s actually the villain. she puts so much pressure on herself to be the perfect swan princess and it just gets worse and worse for her mental health to the point of no return. the visuals and the music also adds to how beautiful portman portrays this and explains why her oscar was so well-deserved. as a former dancer myself, this movie is one that will haunt me because of how relatable nina’s mindset was. i don’t think i’ll ever forget some of the scenes in this film and believe that anyone who embodies a perfectionist will either. black swan is a must-watch masterpiece that everyone needs to see before it’s too late. five stars for sure

no idea why people are hating but this is ONE GOOD SHOW. from beginning to end, you are constantly on adrenaline because like maya, you WANT to know what happened to her husband. and what's thrilling is that there is MORE to what happened and who is involved. i binged all of fool me once in a day and was not disappointed when i finished the last episode. the acting is brilliant and i was so shocked when the truth was revealed. it's crazy that i didn't see it coming at all!!! i highly recommend this show to anyone who wants a binge-worthy show that has twists and turns along the way. there is a reason why this show is #1 on netflix right now and you need to watch it asap to understand the hype!!
