A ballet dancer wins the lead in "Swan Lake" and is perfect for the role of the delicate White Swan - Princess Odette - but slowly loses her mind as she becomes more and more like Odile the Black Swan, daughter of an evil magician.
Visually beautiful with a great central performance, but with a very predictable plot.
On second view: I still stick with my first review, the movie is clearly very much a show piece for its (brilliant) star.
Maltin **: "Vividly realized fever-dream of a movie - with an Oscar-winning performance by Portman - gives new meaning to the word "overwrought," though some people found it brilliant. Matthew Libatique's cinematography is definitely wothry of praise."
