That's interesting, I had the same feeling that Beth stabbing herself in the face probably wasn't real, but for some reason I'd come away with the feeling that Nina really was dead at the end (that it was Lily's death that was the fantasy and Nina's that was real), but the way you interpret it makes sense to me. I also agree with you about Nina caring more about the crowd and her own perfection than about Thomas at the end.

You should make a post!

I felt exactly the same way, that Lily's death was the dream and that Nina's was real...In spite of there being fantastical things happening throughout, that one struck me as real...

Yeah, sort of like the sex scene with Lily was a foreshadowing of it, where Nina thought she was doing it with Lily but it was really just with herself. (And I do agree with Zahra in her review that it's a bit creepy-and-not-in-a-good-way to be sending that message that lesbian sex isn't real or is really just sex with yourself, but on the other hand it was really cool and interesting how they did it in the movie.)

I was surprised at how much I liked that stabbing scene though. I was like, "You go girl! Take what's yours!" and then she did! Only then it turned out to be different.
