    “it was not her grief; it was theirs. no longer merely her experience, they reclaimed it as their own” tragedy gave her wisdom, and stardom took it away. or at least changed it, morphed it into something else. the loss of innocence in exchange of fame, becoming the key cog…

    LOVE IT! One of my faves of the year. Brady is such a talent. And cinematographer Lol Crawley should be nominated. Beautiful images. Watched at AMC Sunset 5.

    I would describe myself as a fan of Vox Lux’s early work (the first half) and less crazy about the late period stuff (the second half)

    “my god... ellie, i think i’ve done something terrible” the perfect modern american portrait: tragedy warping pop culture and vice versa, killing the person and birthing the persona... this is one of the most overlooked mainstream films of the last decade and i’m prepared…

    This was a very depressing movie. From start to finish and the music was over dramatic., the narration was to me lazy writing.

    This movie was awful. This movie doesn't know what "show, don't tell" means, some of the casting decisions were terrible, the songs were forgettable, and most of the things they DO show go nowhere. I recommend that you skip this one.

Corbet's high-caliber melodrama combines food for thought with sense-blitzing spectacle. Between screaming tantrums and booming anthems, it leaves us with a nagging sense that history never quite repeats itself, but sometimes rhymes. Usually to a thumping disco beat.

Vox Lux is a powerful, haunting film in part because Portman is a powerful, haunting presence — you can’t turn away from her, even if you occasionally want to.

Vox Lux is intellectually charged spectacle, with one foot in the Euro-art tradition and the other ankle-deep in the pop zeitgeist.
