Black Swan (2010)
In the era of personal branding, the scariest possibility is that someone might be better at being you than you are.
Nina is a ballerina in a New York City ballet company whose life, like all those in her profession, is completely consumed with dance. She lives with her obsessive former ballerina mother Erica who exerts a suffocating control over her. When artistic director Thomas Leroy decides to replace prima ballerina Beth MacIntyre for the opening production of their new season, Swan Lake, Nina is his first choice. But Nina has competition: a new dancer, Lily, who impresses Leroy as well. Swan Lake requires a dancer who can play both the White Swan with innocence and grace, and the Black Swan, who represents guile and sensuality. Nina fits the White Swan role perfectly but Lily is the personification of the Black Swan. As the two young dancers expand their rivalry into a twisted friendship, Nina begins to get more in touch with her dark side - a recklessness that threatens to destroy her.

Very powerful screenplay. Portman is really good, so fragile and yet so destructive.
I though didn't like the very end, which does not bring anything more and is kind of unnecessary in my opinion.
Good movie! In my opinion the ending was appropriate. In fact, the only way for this to have a happy ending is if she was treated for schizophrenia or whatever she had and this would have destroyed the movie. In my opinion, tragic endings are so much more powerful and I hate when a director or screenplay writer forces a movie to have a happy ending.
