STEVE EMBER: Nina works hard to meet the expectations of the ballet director. She becomes a great dancer but has severe emotional problems. Mila Kunis co-stars as Lily, a dancer who is competing for the leading role in the ballet. Both young actresses trained intensively to be able to dance their roles which were physically demanding.
Many critics are praising Natalie Portman’s performance and are predicting an Academy Award nomination for her. The movie also features Barbara Hershey as Nina’s overly protective mother who hopes her daughter will have the success she failed to gain. Winona Ryder plays the former lead dancer who was replaced by Nina.
Darren Aronofsky directed “Black Swan.” He says the movie shows how hard it is to be a ballet dancer. He also says it represents the beauty of the art. The world of ballet is far different from the world of professional wrestling that Aronofsky showed in his last movie, “The Wrestler.”
