"Black Swan" is undoubtedly a well-crafted psychological thriller that incorporates intriguing elements of body horror, although it does have moments of campiness. While the premise suggests a sophisticated drama, it's clear that the film is firmly rooted in 80s and 90s genre tropes. In that sense, I was hoping for it to be even more extreme and exaggerated. Natalie Portman is perfectly cast in the lead role, though Vincent Cassel occasionally feels a bit over-the-top. Furthermore, I had anticipated the overbearing mother to play a more prominent role in the story, but regrettably, her character remains underdeveloped.
