This overly simplistic movie is to a large extent Portman's autobiography. Child stars always live in the shadow of the white swan. Even until the end of this film, I think Portman’s interpretation of the white swan is more natural and easier than the interpretation of the black swan. In Portman, who overplays the black swan, it’s so easy for us to hear Matilda, the always 12-year-old voice: "I've grown up, I'm just getting old." But Matilda, you are not at all Not old.

Erica: You're working yourself too hard. We all have off days.
Nina: If that girl hadn't barged in.
Erica: I'm sure she didn't mean to. Remember when you first started? If I hadn't taken you to each of your classes you would have been completely lost.
Nina: I'm going to talk to him tomorrow and tell him I finished it.
Erica: You don't need to lie. You won't convince him one way or the other.

Erica: Sweetheart, I know it's disappointing. You start getting older there's all this ridiculous pressure. God knows I understand. But it's alright.

Thomas Leroy: We all know the story. Virginal girl, pure and sweet, trapped in the body of a swan. She desires freedom but only true love can break the spell. Her wish is nearly granted in the form of a prince, but before he can declare his love her lustful twin, the black swan, tricks and seduces him. Devastated the white swan leaps of a cliff killing herself and, in death, finds freedom.
