Break in your ballet shoes and for God's sake, let this girl climax (!) because we are talking about Darren Aronofsky's Black Swan.

From Natalie Portman's Oscar winning performance to this stacked cast to its immersive handheld camera, Black Swan is a big fave, even if Nina's passivity can be frustrating to watch.

Plus: debate about Thomas' sexual assault, lauding Ryder's profane Beth, sheet cake meltdowns, the desire for perfection, and exquisite mirror work.
