If you want to feel tense, hide behind your hands, and cringe every other scene, this is the one for you. There is only one evolved character here, and even then, Portman's spiral in to madness is choppy and sloppy - certainly not due to her lack of ability, rather the crappy editing job. Ryder is reduced to a caricature better suited to a Craven slasher. A well made film - no, but Portman made lemonade and her efforts should be worth an Oscar nom at the very least.

I liked this movie that it kept me always trying to guess what was real and what was all in her head. I think Natalie Portman did a amazing job and should win an award for her role.

Excellent film. Natalie Portman's depth in this movie is beyond her previous roles. Beautifully shot, the film captures the internal struggle of a dancer and the intense pressure ballerinas are in to perfect a role.

You don't have to be a ballet fan to enjoy the amazing story of this troubled prima ballerina. With a breath taking performance by Natalie Portman, I was kept on the edge of my seat until the incredible climax. I was left speechless and utterly entertained with this story that truly gets under your skin.
