Fox Searchlight

'Black Swan'

Release Date: Dec. 3
In a Nutshell: A psychosexual thriller about a New York City ballerina (Natalie Portman) who completely loses her mind while obsessing over the seductive lead role in her company's production of Swan Lake.
Rated: R
For You: Director Darren Aronofsky (The Wrestler) has generated serious Oscar buzz with his look inside the brutally ambitious world of professional ballet -- a disturbing marriage of tutus and terror.
For Kids: Umm, no. Even without the much-talked-about sex scene between Portman and costar Mila Kunis (who plays a rival dancer), Aronofsky (Requiem for a Dream, Pi) is a little intense for younger viewers.
