According to IMDB, she lost 20lbs for the role! And she's so petite to begin with!
I saw it last weekend and I loved it. I thought every minute of it was interesting and tense. The role really displayed Natalie Portman's talent--I won't be surprised at all if she wins awards for it. I don't know if I would really call it a psychological thriller as much as a dark psychological drama. It's definitely not horror in the way we think of horror movies these days. What's creepiest about Black Swan is that people really do go through what Nina went through. I don't want to give away too much, but I'll just say that what happens to the main character (psychologically) really does happen to people, and that is more scary than any paranormal theme kind of movie. Black Swan made me weak at the knees!
