This movie inspired so many movies. Perfect storytelling and an amazing animation and art. It is so much more relevant today than before.
Beautiful cinematography and philosophy.
Very dark and psychological. The twist at the end was superb. Never saw it coming.
Shows a different side of being famous.
Dark, gritty, confusing, an absolute classic for a reason. It will make you question what's real and what's not. A great watch!!!
It's amazing but sometimes I got confused with the timing as it proposed
Blurs the lines between illusion and reality beautifully!
Fantastic piece of animation and cinema, very easy to see where Black Swan got its inspiration from
I have a love-hate relationship with this movie, definitely worth the watch but man not sure if was mentally ready
An amazing achievement, but also very hard to watch at times.
