some movie about a swan


oh the buzz. and natalie portman's knocked up. by a choreographer. who appeared in the movie. yes, yes, yes! for all the distractions, i thought the film was tremendous. unlike the wrestler, which i did enjoy but wasn't able to believe the father-daughter relationship, i did believe these relationships portrayed on-screen. yes, the mother was the clichéed didn't-quite-make-it ballet dancer, however i felt that it still worked for the film. i'm glad i didn't see the preview in which portman plucks a feather from her back, because i fortunately was unaware of what was bubbling and brewing inside. portman's acting was superb, you could see the tension in ever inch of her being, however mila kunis just seemed to be her same self from that 70s show, despite talk otherwise. this all makes me want to watch requiem for a dream all over again...
