New York Magazine (Vulture) - David Edelstein
This is, no doubt about it, a tour de force, a work that fully lives up to its director's ambitions.

Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert
A full-bore melodrama, told with passionate intensity, gloriously and darkly absurd. It centers on a performance by Natalie Portman that is nothing short of heroic.

Chicago Tribune - Michael Phillips
Is Black Swan high-minded? I'm happy to say: No. It is extremely high-grade hokum, which is to say it offers several different and combustible varieties.

Entertainment Weekly - Owen Gleiberman
Lurid and voluptuous pulp fun, with a sensationalistic fairy-tale allure. You can't take it too seriously, but you can't tear your eyes away from it, either.

Boxoffice Magazine - Pete Hammond
With Natalie Portman dominating the action and exhibiting a screen maturity not seen from her before, this all-stops-out Grand Guignol melodrama exhibits more than enough blood, sweat and tears (emphasis on the blood) to score nicely beyond the ballet crowd.
