It's not about girls only. It has a message to boys too. It's about pressure of being perfect,what is c compliantly dumb.

I think the issues explored within the film resonate more with women, but I think it is easily accesible to both men and women.

It's a sexualized asexual movie (even when it's about ballet and it has lesbian scenes).

misanthrope86: What I tried to say is that the leitmotiv of the movie is Nina's psychological issues and how she tried to deal with them, choosing the sexual experimentation as a way of escape. The main reason to be of the film is her obvious schizophrenia, with no intentions to put her in any label, so it's imposible to tell her sexuality (so that means it's an asexual film). And the movie is full of sex scenes (so that is how you sexualized it). Think about this movie without the lesbians scenes and taking another course using another options to liberate her tormented soul and you still have the same twisted result: a girl who is living on the edge of madness and trying to escape from her own mind through an obsessed dream.

Perhaps "asexual" isn't the word then, within your interpretation. Asexual means no sexual desire, not unidentified sexuality.
I guess if you mean that Nina is asexual in the sense that other people imprint sexuality upon her, and her has no desires of her own (or doesn't understand her desires) because she has not been allowed to explore sexuality in any sense, then I like that thinking.
Personally, my interpretation of the movie doesn't concern itself specifically with Nina's sexual orientation. And I certainly don't think its a sexual movie. Part of my issue with the way people have promoted Black Swan is that people have focused on the sexual elements (whether heterosexual or homosexual) when those instances are part of the much richer tapestry that is Nina's life.
And then of course if you look at it all as sexual abuse, that adds another layer again, and a sexual layer does get added to the film.

Of course not! My brother and my dad both saw it and loved it. Just because its main characters are females does not make it a movie for girl's. In fact, I know more boys who like it than girls.
