This movie was so intense, and, I must say, a tad disturbing at times. Natalie Portman was flawless. I also thought Mila Kunis was exceptionally captivating as Lily, a character that served as a foil to Natalie's Nina. The plot itself was mediocre at best. Like I said, it was a little disturbing at times. The direction, however, was amazing. All in all, a great film. Well-deserving of all the hype.
