Comments on: TIFF ’10 Review: ‘Black Swan’ Is The Grandest Ballet Of Darren Aronofsky’s Career https://staging2.theplaylist.net/tiff-10-review-black-swan-is-grandes-20100910/ Sat, 14 Nov 2020 15:59:54 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.7.2 By: John https://staging2.theplaylist.net/tiff-10-review-black-swan-is-grandes-20100910/#comment-23518 Sun, 19 Sep 2010 13:23:57 +0000 http://theplaylist.wpengine.com/?p=1144#comment-23518 This film was terrible. It was campy and so over the top (at least in terms of acting) that I was laughing more than being wrapped up into Darren Aronofsky's recycled world. For the most part this film is an orgy of other, better films (included Aronofsky's The Wrestler) that come together in a forced and rather uninteresting way. There were some great visuals and of course, great music but that's really the only nice thing I could think of to say.

Re: the score. For the most part Mansell reworks Tchaikovsky's "White Swan" score; didn't recall too much original material. But it works very well.

These tepid, vapid reviews are tedious. Again we get a vague description of performances and just general laziness in the writing.
