Review - Black Swan

I went to see Darren Aronofsky's ballet drama Black Swan which has had good reviews for its claustrophobic story of obsessive focus of ballerina Natalie Portman. Her performance is justly praised, but unlike many I found the story overwrought and overhyped. Oh gosh here comes the blood - is this a metaphor for puberty (Portman's character fears sex and the animalistic side of life represented by Mila Kunis' character who comes with a - gosh - tattoo)? And oh gosh she is starting to wear black !! All in all this is a retread of the director's The Wrestler which portrayed essentially the same story to somewhat better and more naturalistic effect - the same obsessive focus on the "job" and the same dysfunctional family relationships - daughter/mother in Black Swan; father/daughter in The Wrestler. Portman should be garlanded with the Oscar, but the film isn't up to much!
