Black Swan is several things - drama, thriller, intense, weird, messed up - a lot of things I didn't expect it to be. The visuals are amazing, the acting superb, the story original...so what's my deal? Fact is, when it was over I sat in the theatre wondering what I had just seen and if I enjoyed watching it. While I was pretty gripped into the story, I have to say after a day of thinking about it, I'm not reflecting back and thinking how great it was, but how relieved I was that it was over. Don't get me wrong, some will really like it, but for me it isn't something I could ever see myself watching again. I guess it's something you really have to be prepared for, because if you go in blind, like I pretty much did, it might not be a pleasant viewing experience.
