A striving ballet dancer, Nina, is chosen to perform the lead of Swan Lake. She flawlessly plays the purity and the innocence of the white swan, but cannot capture the impulsive promiscuity of the black swan. The movie is heavily metaphoric, and brilliantly displays how Nina’s obsession for perfection bashes her to the brink of madness. It’s intense. Director Darren Aronofsky and Natalie Portman flow beautifully together, showing equal measures of grace and chaos. Mila Kunis also licks her way to a great, contrasting performance. Unfortunately, the movie didn’t connect with me in the way it so desperately wanted to.
