Reviews from Critics:
“Trying to coax a horror-thriller out of the world of ballet doesn't begin to work for Darren Aronofsky.” - Kirk Honeycutt, THR

“Powerful, gripping and always intriguing, it also features a lead performance from Natalie Portman that elevates her from a substantial leading actress to major star likely to be lifting awards in the near future.” - David Gritten, Telegraph

“With Natalie Portman, in the demanding leading role, equaling her director in unquestioned commitment, the central issue for the viewer is how far one is willing to follow the film down the road to oblivion for art’s sake.” - Todd McCarthy, IndieWire
