Director: Darren Aronofsky

The acting is superb. While I can't directly relate to the story of the leading ballerina in a major production in a big city, in my head, I understand the euphoria and the pressure she is under simultaneously. It is the unique storyline that doesn't connect with me, emotionally. Yet, the thrilling sequences, the roller-coaster she goes through, and most importantly the super good acting holds this movie together from beginning to the end. My Rating: 7.0
