Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Dirtylogy It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Jay Harris I will admit to being a fan of Ballet.Mathew Bourne version of this famous ballet by Tchaikovsky is different, How you innocently ask,ALL the swans are men.. Male Ballet Dabcers are known for there perfect bodies. Thwy dance naked from the waist up, The various movements are sensuous & thrilling to watch. It has the same tragic ending & you not feel sad, as we know 2 lovers are together now forever.The 2 leads are fantastic, & the dancer who plays the Queen & a mean nasty bitch of the first order, It is quite modern in its approach as they use cellphones in one scene.See this for its fantastic dancing & glorious music. Since this is almost a documentary, there is no numerical rating given,Rating **** (out of 4) IMDb 10 (out of 10)

ant501 This work of art is just stunningly beautiful and powerful; I saw it performed on stage in London and bought the DVD version the next day. The soundtrack is excellent, the orchestra is well balanced and well conducted. The on-stage performances are breathtaking and moving. My only complaints relate to the vision mixing; a few dodgy camera angles and the rapidity of some of the cuts. This is ballet and although TV directors have a golden opportunity to enhance the experience by showing far more than a square-on proscenium arch shot, they should only rarely cut to anything closer than a mid-shot; certainly not for just one second, it is disorientating and it ruins the flow. Despite the fact that I think the editing leaves a lot to be desired I still give it 10 for sheer mastery in every other area.

pyotr-3 This is easily the BEST "Swan Lake" ever performed. Adam Cooper, who later made an appearance in the great film "Billy Elliot," is spectacular as The Swan, and the entire production is flawless. A spectacle never to be forgotten. Bravo!

mermatt This is a beautiful variation on Tchaikovsky's ballet with all male swans. The play has a wicked sense of humor about ballet and theater in general, but the homoerotic element is what really sets this version off from all others. These swans are not males doing traditional female ballet movements. The dances are choreographed for males and are powerfully appropriate for the masculine, barechested young men. Adam Cooper is stunning as both the white and black swans.The final scene is so touching as to bring tears. This is a movie for people who don't like ballet as well as for those who do. The mystery and mystique of SWAN LAKE will never be the same again.
