Sometimes the critics make no sense.There is Oscar buzz for the movie, Black Swan, with almost unanimously positive reviews. It's being touted as a psychological sexual thriller.
With two beautiful stars, Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis, how could I not want to see this movie?
I started the movie with high hopes but when the end credits rolled I felt ripped off.
The melodrama was over-done, the psychological aspects of the film were simple at best and the sexual aspects of the movie were tame. There was more sexuality in Top Gun, a movie 25 years old.
This movie was perfectly designed for pretentious idiots. It wasn't scary, thought-provoking or titillating. The plotting was simple and every move was telegraphed. The folks who are gushing over this are the same folks who sit around a table gushing about a bottle of wine for an hour.
I was yawning 30 minutes into the movie. Walking out of the theater later, I felt I'd just lost 2 hours of my life.
I won't give away the story or the goofy ending which wasn't surprising to anyone who understands symbolism.
If you still feel the need to see the film, good luck. I hope you enjoy it as much as the critics.
