As opening night nears and the pressure to be perfect builds, Nina's obsession descends into paranoia and delusion. Portman won an Academy Award for the film, which also nabbed an Oscar nod for Best Picture.

3.75 stars. We both really enjoyed the dancing, the acting, and the her spiral downward. However by the end of the movie we were so lost and weren't sure how we got there.
