This movie has everything going for it - but you have to be ready to be seriously creeped out! Directed by the brilliant Darren Aronofsky (he directed The Wrestler and Requiem for a Dream), it's a dark, mind-muddling story that leaves you questioning your reality. Natalie Portman plays the lead with such intensity that it's no surprise she's the forerunner in the Best Actress Oscar race.
Forget the fact that it is centred around the Swan Lake ballet. Don't let your boyfriend use this as an excuse not to see it.
