Om den här filmen

Vox Lux begins in 1999 when teenage sisters Celeste (Raffey Cassidy) and Eleanor (Stacy Martin) survive a seismic, violent tragedy. The sisters compose and perform a song about their experience, making something lovely and cathartic out of catastrophe — while also catapulting Celeste to stardom. By 2017, the now 31-year-old Celeste (Natalie Portman) is mother to a teenage daughter of her own and struggling to navigate a career fraught with scandals when another act of terrifying violence demands her attention.

There is a tension that starts from the first major event and intensifies slowly as the film progresses. The grainy look and presence of a narrator makes it look as though the story is in a documentary format. Could the film be a recreation of Celeste’s life with her younger character being played by her daughter? That would explain some of the audio effect where although she (young Celeste) is speaking the sound adjusts slightly or her accent slips. Celeste’s character is complex, conflicting and genuinely fascinating.

Why is it that I feel every time I see Natalie Portman in movies with some sort of mental illness to the mind that it brings me back to the movie Black Swan? I feel like after watching her in that they type cast her I don’t see anything different maybe she needs to be in movies that show her in something entirely different away from her comfort zone.

I cannot fathom how certain IDIOTS have the audacity to file a review WITHOUT EVEN SEEING THE MOVIE YET!!!!! Pleeeeeease be quiet until you have at least actually WATCHED THE MOVIE!!!!!
