Storyline
Nina (Portman) is a ballerina in a New York City ballet company whose life, like all those in her profession, is completely consumed with dance. She lives with her obsessive former ballerina mother Erica (Hershey) who exerts a suffocating control over her. When artistic director Thomas Leroy (Cassel) decides to replace prima ballerina Beth MacIntyre (Ryder) for the opening production of their new season, Swan Lake, Nina is his first choice. But Nina has competition: a new dancer, Lily (Kunis), who impresses Leroy as well. Swan Lake requires a dancer who can play both the White Swan with innocence and grace, and the Black Swan, who represents guile and sensuality. Nina fits the White Swan role perfectly but Lily is the personification of the Black Swan. As the two young dancers expand their rivalry into a twisted friendship, Nina begins to get more in touch with her dark side - a recklessness that threatens to destroy her.

Trivia
The letters that were written on the mirror, in the scene where Nina calls her mother to tell her that she has been accepted for the role, were written by Natalie Portman herself. See more »Goofs
Continuity: When Natalie Portman talks to Mila Kunis in the bathroom at the party, Mila Kunis hands Natalie Portman her purse so she can take off her thong. When the camera is on Natalie Portman you can see in the mirror behind her that she still has the purse, but the camera then turns to Mila Kunis where she quickly shoved the thong into her purse. There was not enough time for this exchange. See more »Quotes
