The movie and Portman has attracted lot of positive reviews by the movie pundits as they say for the actress, she has ‘bravely ventured out of her comfort zone to play a character slowly losing sight of herself. It's a bravura performance.'
 
‘Black Swan’ deals with the story of Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis who are ballet dancers in a New York City production of Swan Lake. The production requires a ballerina to play both the innocent White Swan and the sensual Black Swan. Nina (Portman) fits for the White Swan, Lily (Kunis) fits for the Black Swan, and the two compete for the parts.
 
Meanwhile, the 29-year old actress admits that to prepare for the role she underwent gruelling physical sessions which included ballet dance and swimming.
 
'Six months ahead of the film, I went into sort of hyper-training, where five hours a day I was doing both ballet and cross-training, with swimming,' she told Britain's Press Association. 'It was very extreme.'
