  Black Swan 2010

  ★★★★½ Watched 19 Mar 2025

  Uncomfortable from start to finish. I like the constant use of mirrors in shots that show her identity being defined by the perfect view of herself.
   
  So many little things make this great, the themes of seduction and freedom are there throughout.

  I also like the lines throughout that hold double meanings while Nina battles with herself, as well as the blurriness of everything happening.

  Definitely an Oscar-worthy performance from Portman.

  Her 2013

  ★★★★½ Watched 18 Aug 2024

  A great dive into emotion and relationships. I like the unique and aggressive use of color by Jonze and what he is able to achieve symbolically with it. Phoenix gives a great performance, especially with the large amount of extreme closeups where he is able to convey very real emotion through subtle expressions. I liked how there were times when the film makes you realize that it really is all gray area, and sometimes nobody is right.
