Today's quote:

"This is a very lazy movie, featuring every ballet cliché going. If you want to look at the dark side of ballet, do it properly, don't just give us shots of a ballerina suddenly vomiting. Nina's mother was beyond the cliché of a ballet mum—she was a psychopath. And the only people who looked like they were having a good time were the ones having sex."

~ Tamara Rojo, principal dancer with the Royal Ballet, "What Britain's ballet stars made of Black Swan" (Guardian)
